I had the 7 and thought I was in big trouble. Hoss, I think you are right about him being the best, and also the 2 being out of gas. I know the stewards took a long look at it, would have it mattered if Garcia filed an objection also? Or by him not filing an objection, was he saying that he was out of horse anyway and had no chance to win.

I wonder how much jocks, and odds of the horses come into play. What I mean is, we are talking about Alan Garcia on a 27-1 shot. What would have happened if it was Prado on a 8-1 shot in the same condition. Near the front the whole race and it's looking like the anchor is coming out. Or maybe Garcia just told the stewards that he was out of horse and him steading the horse was just a bad acting job. I don't know, but on a day when it seemed like I lost every photo I had this chalked up as another bad beat. So I was pleasantly suprised by the result.
