Inquiry in 3rd at Aqueduct

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

the 4 clearly scared em..

Scared who?

The head on, and back view, showed there was a ton of room and Coa's right handed whip drove the horse into the rail.

The rider of the winner kept a straight path and did nothing wrong.

sorry..it was a joke.. the 4 ran str and true..it shouldent have been an inquiry

Am I the only one who thinks the 1 wins if Coa moves him outside of the 4?

He might have, as he was possibly intimidated, but there was a huge opening and moving up the fence at that point is usually right.....as opposed to having to alter course.

I understand your argument but I think in this particular situation it is reasonable to think he did the right thing.

Seems to me that the horse would've won if hand ridden. What a novel notion that jocks just can't seem to grasp.
You can't be working with a full deck if you're busting the horse righty in that situation.

Yeah after watching the replay it's plain to see he used the whip. Real bad decision on Coa's part as his horse was much the best.

I can see why the inquiry, but why the hell the objection? It wasn't even close to a foul.

the horse should have objected on the rider.
