Got her stuck behind horses, as a result.

In the stretch, he was waiting for room, on the wrong lead, bulled his way through, knocking the horse to his outside out into another horse, then changed leads and took off.

Also, the 7 ducked out at the break; I mean severely. The type of duckout you typically see when a horse is on the outside.

Wonder why the stewards didn't look into the stretch run.
They've made some interesting calls and non-calls so far this meet. There was one in Saturday's 7th. While I watched it live, I thought the winner was coming down....they never had an inquiry.
