You had a tough beat there Scav - not only the fouling - but if any jockey around now could carry a tired horse home in a dirt route - Victor Espinoza would be the one I'd want. And Chantal - not so much.

Maybe I'm biased because I hit the race but my first reaction was he is coming down for coming in on Twirling Candy. When I saw the head on I was convinced I was screwed and didnt even look at the replays again. But once it took so long I finally looked at the replay showing the horses coming into the top of the stretch from behind. From behind it appears TC turned into the right hind of GOD causing him to turn outside giving the head on the appearance of GOD causing the foul. I'm taking the rear view replay and RUNNING!!!!!!!!

Baffert does not come down in that spot. I never thought I was coming down.

The non DQ cost me the late P3 ($3) and late DD ($10). Agree it was tough but it is what you get when you wager out there. Althought I'll say that I think Phil said it best that after watching it a million times, there is really no right answer and I guess the safe call is to not touch it.

And quite honestly, Setsuko didn't really deserve to get put up with his hanging tendencies, he was loaded for bear on the final turn and just didn't want to pass a horse that got knocked around twice, had incompentency on his back, and was close to a pretty fast pace. He'll never win.

At least the R3/R4 DD at Parx was the overlay of the century, 1/5 over 5/1 pays $32, that helped the day along pretty well.
