“That’s what I think,’’ Velazquez said in a conference call with reporters Sunday morning. “That’s why I was so frustrated. Things happen in a race. If it would have happened right out of the gate I wouldn’t have been so frustrated because things happen right from the start. But this happened three or four jumps after the start so that’s why I was frustrated. It shouldn’t happen. He should not be playing something like that in a race like this. It’s stupidity and it shouldn’t happen.’’>>>

Is he saying that it would be okay to do what he is accusing Maragh of in a Claiming race on a Thursday ? Stupid jockey behavior occurs all the time and shouldn't be tolerated ever.
