Race 5: 3-5-4
Why the 3 is 12/1 right now is something I can't understand.

Did you see that?! It should've been the 3! The Penn National Roughriders screwed us!

I'm always trying to learn more about this sport, so does anyone out there know what constitutes a foul or brings up an inquiry? It seemed to me that the 3 had the inside lane into the stretch, and the 5 and 1 both jerked to the left into his path and caused him to slam on the brakes, so to speak.
Is that analysis accurate, or was it just a case of a jockey missing a spot and driving his horse up another horse's ass?

In short, what is the fine line between good riding and a foul when veering into another's path?

what constitutes a foul and what does not. If I wasn't losing money, I'd find it comical. On a whole, I think the slack is one "path", so say coming down the stretch, you're on the rail, that's the one path. If you drifted out to the "two path" w/out seriously impeding another horse (ie making it pull up, check heels, etc) you usually get by. Other factors, is the horse you impede/bump running huge or fading? Are they themselves drifting out, and not because you caused them to do so, and if they aren't drifting, did they drift when you lugged in? In short, it's a f*cking mess. I didn't see the incident in the 5th, I'm gonna see if I can catch the replay.
