Tough loss for a horse who was clearly the best yesterday.

jockey was leaning right and the horse went left and he had nothing under him. Don't think he had a choice. you thkink he could have held on to something and hung on until after the wire to fall off?
those damn seagulls are in a hurry to get a hot lunch
I forget whch track but one landed right where a horse stepped and splat.
