I just got in and watched the replays and was puzzled and confused as to this takedown.
This is just awful, and I mean incredibly terrible.
The only reason the inside horse was struck with the whip was because she bore into it.
Its unreasonable to take this horse down, just ridiculous and these stewards are the pits.
A jocky reaches back to hit his horse and the other horse bears into it and its a takedown when the inside horse was obviously done?

One other thing, I watched the replay of the first race and it sure looked to me as if the winner banged and collided with the Paragallo horse. YOu can clearly see contact and a hard bump. I wasn't watching races live today, can anyone tell me if there was an inquiry or objection in that race, and how the hell that horse could stay up and the winner of the feature could come down?

I had absolutely no money riding on either but I just can't understand the logic of dq'ing the winner of the Top Flight at all.
