All takedowns aren't bad, or the worst ever, and painful as some are, they are frequently legitimate.

I think the point I am making is that the decisions being made are completely arbitrary, like pass interference. Fouls are only declared fouls if they fit some criteria in that moment in time. The actions by the jockey in the Price Talk DQ and Silky Blue non-DQ we’re almost identical. And neither cost anyone a placing. Yet they found the implementation of the DQ not warranted in only one. Why?
I still contend yesterday’s DQ was a poor decision for 2 reasons. 1. It is clear the 4 moved out towards the 1 first. You can not argue that point. 2. The overhead from the WinStar cam, showed me anyhow, that the 1 was clear if not just about clear of the 4 when he shifted in. Again, I bet the 1 so perhaps I am seeing things, but it didn’t even look like the 1 made actual contact with the 4 while the pan view made it look more closer to the action that occurred in the Bowling Green.
A few questions. Do the stewards have access to the overhead? Do the stewards explain their decisions in NY like they do in other states, and if so, where can I find that?
