I've seen several VERY controversial DQ's involving bridgejumped horses over the last two years.
Someone bet over 150K to show Nicole's Dream in a small stake at Mountaineer. She won in hand by 8 or 9 in course record time but was DQ'd for a phantom call.
Proud Spell was DQ'd just last week. She needed only to beat two mediocre allowance horses.
Outcashem - who had won something like 12 races in a row - was DQ'd in a hapless starter allowance race at Timonium that led to blockbuster show payoffs.
