Yes,Dr. Zaenth,and Jara's horse clipped hills.I just don't know if there was other contact.It's hard to tell how much contact took place between Jara's horse and the winner.I think Jara's horse got cut on the front left( by the back right hoof of the winner.) Hard to tell how much contact took place between Jara's horse,and the 5 horse(Dewey's whateva.) Blanc(on the 6)was not giving much room to the two horses inside of him.So,when Jara's horse went just a bit wide in top stretch,you will see Jara have to pull him back quickly into his lane.This is why Garret's assumption(that Jara was moving outside)was incorrect.He had no room outside.He had to quickly pull him back into his lane.When he did that,he got hit by THE WINNER TRYING TO TAKE A LANE THAT HAD ONLY OPENED FOR like half a second.It had quickly closed.Garrett told the stewards that Jara chose to go outside,and so he took his lane.Problem is he isn't outside when he comes over.He is in the same lane he was in when they entered the stretch.He simply isn't clear when he comes over.Granted,it all took place very quickly,and decisions had to be made very quickly.A foul did take place though,and without that foul,the Jara horse wouldn't have shot across to the back of Dr. Zaenth,and clipped hills.I have no idea why they let Gomez come over when not clear.I've never seen them ignore what he did there.He simply guessed at something,and was wrong.Jara's horse is dead center in his lane when Garrett comes over.He didn't think he was gunna be there,but he was wrong(cuz he guessed.) Then he blamed Jara for going outside.I mean the facts are that the horse came right back into his lane,and then was bothered big time by THE WINNER.THE SEEM CLOSED.LIKE 99% OF THE TIME THIS WOULD BE A D.Q. When you take a seem that closed? You usually get taken down....wasn't clear when moved over.Jara's horse beat Garret's horse to the spot Garrett had decided to take.There is zero way for Jara to know Gomez was coming over.
