I'm sure I will pay for whining about a horse race during this pandemic but here goes (since I have nothing but time on my hands
):
1. If Winning Combination, who won the 8th race on the track at 12-1, stayed up I have a $4 exacta worth at least $240. So yes, the DQ DQ'ed me too here.
2. Finnick the Fierce ran a terrific race was clearly second best having been bothered while rallying up the rail.
3. The favorite, owned by Robert LaPenta and trained by Brad Cox, was the horse bothered when the winner drifted in on the favorite. The stewards were obviously guessing that the winner cost the favorite a better placing. I think the favorite was backing up by the time the winner drifted in. So the stewards guessed wrong to DQ the winner IMO. (You expected a different ending to this post?
