He’s a big horse racing fan? How many races a year do you think he watches? I have the over/under at 3.

I have to admit I’m kind of surprised people actually watch all of the videos of the Derby and come away from watching it thinking MS was fouled. I’m not trying to offend anyone but that’s crazy.

Its amazing that people view each of the "latest" Derby videos and takes the most recent as the new, singular truth. It's as if all other previous angles are negated.

All one has to do to verify that WOW did or did not foul MS from behind prior to the latter veering out is to watch another angle(s) at the same point in time (you know, like the stewards are supposed to).

But I guess since no one has yet to sync 2 complementary angles together side-by-side, lazy people will continue to buy into the headlines of "indisputable evidence".

What an absolute travesty. What are the chances of someone gets 15 days out of an obscure infraction that the stewards didn't even see?

I’m in the camp that agrees with the DQ, but I see no reason to suspend him. Especially given the track conditions that day. Borderline absurd to suspend him, IMO.
