Your right. I don't see the #1 horses front legs in between the #7 horses legs even though it is as clear as day..... it must be the weed....

Your assertion is based on a single view (i.e, a side view from a wide angle).

If you watch the race at the same point from the angle provided by NBC explaining the DQ (an oblique, partially overhead view in close up), you'd see that there was no contact prior to Maximum Security veering out.

Well I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

On to the Preakness.

5/18 (PIM): PREAKNESS STAKES

1. War of Will (Casse/Gaffalione)

Listen to Casse on ATR yesterday.
He outlines the race from 1.57 - 2.07

He likened MS to a drunken driver, swerving out, then in, then out.

Jason Servis' take - https://www.app.com/story/sports/hor...by/1139284001/ .

He mentions that Maximum Security experienced cuts on his hind two legs from the race (I hope he has pictures or a vet report). What's in question is whether the cuts are a result of contact made by War of Will when he attempted to go around him or were they a result of the subsequent contact when Maximum Security came out. It's seems like the racing world is split on this.

I sure wish that the meeting they are supposed to have tomorrow would be televised/streamed live for the rest of us to see.

The racing world is split on that? Maybe the crazy world is....
