Please. It is against Coa! He's just pissed that he didn't get the chance to bump him first. He is closer to a street hood on the track than anyone. But, I certainly did notice the bump. Not sure if it would have been upheld but there probably should have been a quick objection lodged. I do find it hard to worry about Coa being impeeded however. There was an interview in the Saratoga Special last year, I think, where he was quoted as saying that he didn't care about his popularity in the jock's room and he will take his risks with the rules and if he gets suspended, that's ok. So the stewards may have also been influenced by more than the teflon jock that Gomez tends to be.
