Alan...Scuds and I were discussing this the other day....Nak's head is nowhere near the track. Looks like he has zero desire to be out there.

Must be getting something sweeter then cash, and we all know there is only one thing sweeter then cash......

Scuds said it must be night golf...i told him it had to be some side action....we all know that stuff moves mountains

I never saw an objection from any trainer or jock. Just the inquiry. That is the umusual thing. generaly if an inquiry changes the results an objection follows and inquiry.

I do alot of daydreaming, but it aint about night golf...God knows I get enough of that throughout the day.

Whats up with the 1st race at SA watch the head on replay. I was at the track and saw the two horses comes together with 1/16 of a mile to go.
Now just because it is baffert/baffert they let it go. Now before you go Jim Mora (classic "playoffs" rant)on me I think it was a 40/60 call to dq the horse but it still deserved a look.

Here is my thought on it all,and that is that CALIFORNIA RACING SUCKS!!!! If another horse even LOOKS at another horse out there,they take him down.The stewards out there are a bunch of CLOWNS,Just look at who some of them are[one is a TVG host}They have no consistency in their decisionmaking, and are totally influenced by the politics of the game out there.I NEVER wager on any of these tracks,due to what happened not only yesterday,but also in the past.Crappy racing,Period.This is just my opinion.

Failure to maintain a straight course and impedeing another horses forward progress are 2 reasons that the winner came down. Pretty simple.

Honu,I am fine with taking this horse down,but they need to do the same with all the other incidents like this(they do not....they call them minor,or they say it didn't change the outcome of the race.)This is not done consistently at all.Right away,the guys on T.V. said they would leave it alone.Now exactly why would they say that??Well,it's because they see this situation left alone quite often.They need to start being consistent.Sometimes they say the best horse won,and they let this go(dead horse was fouled etc.)Rarely, they do what they did yesterday(take down the obviously best horse,because that horse fouled a horse who was gunna come 4th-7th.)I think they are highly subjective,and need to take one of these options,and stick to it.Either you are highly interested in who the best horse was(and overlook a foul that didn't cost somebody a top 3 placing,)or you call any foul(regardless of who the best horse in the race was.)Do one or the other.They aren't doing one or the other.They are doing both.

The horse he impeded was going BACKWARDS and was in no way going to affect the outcome of the race!!
