Do you know for a fact that he did try to call upstairs? If he did that is criminal, that check costed him at least 3rd.

He told Jay Privman after the race that he asked for a hold of the race, but they made it official real quick

So I guess all integrity goes out the window today because of the scheduling. God Forbid that ESPN can't go to Sportscenter at 7 o'clock on the dot. Just Ridiculous.

Jerry made a valid point. If it wasn't the 7 that moved over, it was defintley the 6 (the eventual second place horse). stewards just laughed at garcias objection

The objection never made it to the stewards. That is the problem with the situation. Whether or not it should have been a DQ is irrelevant. The breakdown in communications that allowed the race to go official without the objection being noted is the problem.

Bailey acted like a bettor.

He said if I money on that horse I would
be very upset that the race was put up
so quickly.

a perfect way for him to connect with the audience... as most people watching the early races are probably are betting on them.

Bailey saw him on the phone and noted how ticked off he was that they wouldn't let him lodge an objection.... since they already made the race official.

There was another outrider stationed on the track who did call the stewards to let them know that they should look at the video of that incident. Alan did object. It was the fastest official finish on the card. Alan wasn't off his mount yet and it was official.
