OK...no matter what you and I see can I ask you this? Why was there no jockey's Objection. Can any of you guys shed some light on this???

Objections cost cash, if you lodge an objection I think it costs $100 or something (from the jock). And they probably already knew they were looking at it. I could be 100% wrong about this

the 3 was drifting in and Eibar was trying to correct it. He slightly bumps into into him once, and then a off stride bump, gets him straight and then completely cuts him off BEFORE the line.

My guess it that Eibar had to think he was clear, when he really wasn't, but again, I think that DQ was fairly straight forward

So....and I'm not being a dink. Do you think it was for rough/careless riding or do you honestly think the 8 had a chance to win?

8 had zero chance of winning, but the 3 knocked him off stride EARLIER in the race also, probably not enough to get DQed, but that last cut off was probably the icing on the cake.

If you notice, when Durking was explaining the DQ today, he was talking about MUCH earlier in the stretch, and not that final cut off, he did not it was 'part of it'

That's what we all thought because that's what they were showing when Durkin was explaining it, which makes me feel even more strongly that it was an iffy DQ. There has been so much worse. This is why there needs to be a clear set of guidelines when it comes to the DQ's They should make one of the Stewards get on the track PA and explain what they saw rather than make Durkin do it. They owe it to the betting public.

What about no steward inquiry unless the jockey claims foul.
just wondering

[Ronnie]

Does there need to be duplicity? If the jockey knows the stewards are looking into it, why then would he put in a jockey's inquiry? I guess that I don't know that much about inquiries, and I see that I am not alone.

Did not know that. Interesting. 20 years in this game and still learning.

I am not 100% sure. I am sure someone on here will know for sure. If not, I have a friend that used to be a jock agent, I'll ask him when I see him next
