8/5 on the board - the horse made it to the far turn before breaking down. Another one went down over him.
Hard to imagine Moss/Amoss dropped this horse because he was sound. I'd like to see both get fined for taking the risk with the horse and the jock, not to mention the other one that went down. I know you can't prove they did anything wrong, but.......
Hated seeing it even more when viewing the chart - someone dropped a slip on him......

It is hard to legislate morality but you'd like to see the same announcers call someone out after something like this happens. the biggest problem with horse racing media in general is that the cry wolf about stupid (and wrong( things and ignore obvious deals like this.
