That was a tough call. I felt, if anything, the second horse herded the winner out in midstretch, causing him to bear out, and if anyone should have come down it was the second finisher. Personally, I didn't think anyone should come down....but I can see why some people would disagree.

The problem is the question of herding....and I generally disagree with how stewards see this. I think it's an eggregious foul and many don't.
