Espinoza was doing what other guys do when they don't have the horse to win fairly. The problem with this whole situation is that they normally ignore these tactics, and all the sudden(when the cast of characters is a certain way,) they have a problem with riding this way. People, ya momma smoking a pound of weed a week could be more consistent and objective than this bunch. Don't expect Gomez to get taken down for doing the same thing(ain't gunna happen.)

I didn't really want to get into this anymore, however I watched the replay again/head on and to me there was plenty of blame that goes both ways for both riders. I doubt if Court's horse was to the inside of Bejarano's that there would have been a dq'd. My opinion is yes perhaps Victor tried to intimidate Bejarano's mount but bejarano was not clear, he chose that route where he could have stayed wide. Yes I know Victor's horse drifted however if a horse was to be taken down everytime they drifted, everyone here would probably stop playing this game. It's done and over, I suspect the consensus will be split on this topic. I hope we can move on.
