However, to me the DQ was questionable. It was the rider who put Gouldings Green in such a tight spot next to 15 rounds that it barely took any movement at all to get the bumping initiated. It was nothing egregious at all and I think unfair for 15R.

I didn't bet on it either but I am a fan of both of those horses, especially 15 Rounds. He is tough and consistent and Janks has done a superb job with him.

Never made up a step after the incident and was actually losing ground at the wire. he offically lost by a length and I dunno that it cost him a length. Again, it wasnt as bad as Smart and pretty, but I highly doubt he was gonna win.
