Does it really matter? The issue is whether Ortiz rode Gem City Gal when she was in a position to win the race. I expect a rider to at the very least to put in an effort to try to win a race.

Is it too much to ask Ortiz to at least move his arms when he has the horse in a position to win the race? The integrity of the game demands that the stewards take action in a situation like this. My point was that if the stewards took no action on Gem City Gal, one cannot expect they would take action on the other race. And that is unfortunate.
