“...Stewards were incorrect in their decision.
It seemed to me that Abel Tasman clearly fouled Elate”
============================
According to the discussion by the three TV commentators at the time
After watching the replay several times two of the three felt it was a 50-50
In fraction by those Jockeys
ABEL Did Veer in ~ But the replay clearly shows that ELATE Did ALSO
I agree with the steward decision
An unfortunate incident tarnished the beauty of the race
It’s probably a Sure Bet That Discussions Of
“IF decision was right or wrong?” Will Go On & On
With 2 Opinions = Depending upon who is speaking their mind
Had they reversed the decision there would have been a major outcry as well
This is nothing new in horse racing
Ya Win Some ~ Ya Lose Some
Some Will Smile ~
Some Will Cry
And Some May Never Understand Why
