Watch the headon of the race. It appears that Chavez, probably by intent, comes over aggressively to get the rail, forcing Prado towards the open rail and almost into the closed portion. I don't get what Prado is thinking. He almost went into the start/corner of the rail and could've easy had his horse bolt through the open rail area. All this because he absolutely MUST get into a duel. I don't get it with him. And after he's stopped, you'd think the idiot would just rate. Did he ever consider who he was chasing?

And I certainly don't get what Johnny V was doing. He turned what was a gift perfect trip into a premature move that cost him the win. Why must he go after the duelers on the turn -- and be widest doing it? All he has to do is wait until they enter. He could've gotten them at any point in the stretch. The only way he loses the race is by moving too soon and completely collapsing the race.

Only way any of this **** makes sense is to just assume they're all retards.
