Under intense right handed whipping---on a horse who was simply never going to lose that lead late---coming out of a slow early-very fast late run grass race---he came out and brushed with Prado about five yards before the wire.
IMO, the call was nothing short of disgraceful....but hey, I'm only trying to be objective...as I did need the 6 pretty bad as well.
The 9 horse in the second race wiped out just about everything to his inside in race #2...and stayed up...but hey, that foul happened at a stage of the race where trouble is actually signficant.
