In fact, if you watch the headon (of this or just about any other turf race at TAM), you'll notice that ALL the field drifts out during the end of the race. Of course, Homeister does her best to come out a bit more than necessary. Taking horses down for drifting out when the track takes them that way is really not a FAIR way to go, IMO. These stewards have shown the ability to 'let them play'.
For CLEAR cases of HERDING that's NEVER enforced, we need only look to your home track(s). What's the over under that the stewards take Castellano down at least once this year?
