The Day Horse Racing Died

[Dahoss]

I’ve watched the race probably 30 times and I’m pretty confident in race watching abilities, so with all due respect I disagree on your take on how easy it’d be to re rally after having your momentum taken away at the most crucial part of the race.

Obviously we don’t agree which is cool. It’d be boring if everyone agreed, but I appreciate you explaining your side.

I maintain that a foul on a Monday is a foul in the Derby. Even if War of Will and Long Range Toddy were not going to win, they had legitimate shots at the exacta, tri or super and that was taken away when they were fouled by the winner. That has always been justification for a DQ. It maintains the integrity of the betting.

I hate to play the what if game but if War of Will goes down do people still not agree a DQ was warranted?

I understand the gripes of consistency and I’m sure I’ll be complaining about a DQ soon enough.
