Two at Toga (2023)

I’m biased so I guess I’ll defer to others and I do agree with the sentiment but this feels like about a 3 on the 1-10 scale of what Irad can usually get away with. Obviously would’ve never bet him at 7/5 and didn’t think even with the Irad factor that was possible in here. They really need to figure out how to be even mildly consistent with these calls.

The "it didn't cost a placing" rule/argument really needs to end. If the ride was reckless and put another rider in risk of injury then it should be a DQ no matter where the horse finishes.

I don’t think there should have been a DQ there but obviously Irad has learned nothing from his DQ the other day. You’re not entitled to the spot you want if someone is there. He thinks he is.

I don’t even know what you can do to punish him because he doesn’t care.

I can understand your opinion dahoss, just like I could understand what jms the other day…It’s just the lack of any type of consistency to me in the rulings…doesn’t help that I used 1,4 in that race, ripped them all up and had the 1 in all multis that leg…but my sentiments were made well before that race happened…just another kick in the balls

It's frustrating I get it. The other day, he obviously cost the horse a placing. I don't think that happened today and that's how I look at it, which could very well be wrong.

The "Cost the horse a placing" is so open to interpretation. I feel the standard should be did he put another horse/rider in danger.

Isn’t that open to interpretation?
