I think I know Bid well enough that if he felt Joe T had ridden the horse out and still got beat, he would have never started this thread to begin with. All I ever ask for in a race is a fair chance...I don't think this horse was given a fair chance. He headed the other horse, was rolling by the other horse and Joe T quit asking after that. Who knows if he thought he was gonna keep cruising by the horse, or what, but he clearly made a mistake.

but the original assertion here wasn't that it was a mistake. It was that it was a criminal "stiff" job and he should get time and be fined which is quite simply laughable.
