How does this horse stay up?
HOL-11-16-08_R9
Sutherland sticking lefty on Leedstheway (#4) takes the path from Uncle Jeep (#2) late stretch. Even if she was clear (debatable) she's not supposed to be able to obstruct the path of another horse. (Seems like Chantal has been studying the style of Javier Castellano --- she looks behind early stretch, note that she's going to face a challenge, and then craftily starts whipping lefty to get her horse to drift, herd, then cut off the competition.) People bet their money and stewards allow this kind of **** to happen (regularly). Why are these ****ers earning a salary, money that could be better spent elsewhere by the tracks?
