Default Cocoa Beach Had To Come Down

I had nothing on the race but if you come over and literally slam into another horse and squeeze them back, you come down.

If the horse isn't 3/4 or Dubai connections does the horse come down?

The call of the race was pretty bad. He never picked up that horse on the inside (My Baby Baby).

If you watch the head on the incident occurs right when the shot goes from behind the field on the turn to the stretch shot so its tough to get a really good look at it. Although she was lugging coming into the lane it looked like the horse inside her was coming out a bit as well. She was best anyway so the call was probably right though she still didn't look nearly like the horse she was last year.

Nonsense, she literally took as hard a left turn into the 10 as you could take. That wasn't even close. The problem here is there seems to be no rhyme or reason to DQs anymore.

it depends in ny if the stewards like you or not randall , if they like you , you stay up , if they don't , well then you com down

I seen horses stay up that had no business or did far worse than what Harlem Rocker did to Talk of Ekati last year at the Big A , but, because it was TP the horse comes down with no explanation

You dont think it has anything to do with who they bet in the race?

I would have flipped had they taken down the 8 (from 2nd place) in the 1st.

I havent seen this race in question, but your right. It seems it's who you are that dictates whether you move or not.
