Garcia almost puts Proud Spell and Saez through the fence exiting the turn...drift out running into the Hamsa horse in upper stretch...then starts turning inward after that initiating contact with Proud Spell in mid stretch as Proud Spell was drifting out slightly at that point but not as pronounced as the Garcia horse was bearing inward...then right at the end, Proud Spell drifts out badly but still accelerating away from the Garcia horse and Saez gets dq'd. It's quite upsetting for those of us who had exacta money on Proud Spell and Music Note and bridge jumper place money on Proud Spell!
