At Del Mar recently, the 4 horse turned left out of the gate and right in front of the 3 and the 2..... needless to say both of the horses cut off ( and the 3 was hit) finished far back. The 4 straighten out,,, raced on and finished second.
NO DQ after the INQUIRY .. reason given ...

Could not believe what I was hearing.
Lost my exacta wager because of no action taken.  |
I think it is outrageous, the 5, which appeared from the limited Euro PP's has speed, was completely eliminated by the 7's left turn out of the gate. I don't buy the explanation that anything is allowed out of the gate. Failing to even look at that compromises the integrity of the product, I feel ripped off since a horse I used quite a bit in the pk4 never had a chance to win this race because the winner interfered with him at the start. Complete BS!
