Just saying that it is horse racing. Things happen to make a horse win or lose. Racing Luck.

So the 11 won it were lucky and that's that?

Look, rabbits have been used throughtout the game. For instance, Damascus had Hedevar to wear out Dr. Fager in the '67 Woodward. The thing about it is they were both trained (I believe,not owned) by the same person and Hedevar was there only to benefit Damascus. In the case of Bailey and Solis, the perception (right or wrong) is they took on the front end for one reason only...to wear down SJ and take him out of his race. And who did it benefit? What about any bettors that had RHT or Eddington in their exotics?

Serious questions on taking horses out of their running styles and why, if there is proof out there that is what they were instructed to do by the owner/trainer...that's one thing...if not that's why the ?? are always going to be ask.
