They said it was because he didnt cause the 2 horse a placing....which is bullsh*t. Even YOU could pass that hanging rat BLACK JACK coming down the lane. That sorry 2 for 34 hanging P.O.S.....

All I ask is that the stewards keep it consistent. If the 2 won the race and the 6 had the interference called, you would be applauding the call.

And I could not have passed.

the reasoning they gave for keeping the 6 up is bullsh*t...plain and simple.

A trained monkey could see that the 6 interfered with the 2 horse...clearing costing him a placing. The fact that he ran on and held of for 3rd tells you how much horse that Blanc had.

I thought the stewards made the correct call. I did not think Billy Allen was cost a chance at a better placing. That's always tough to quantify but I would have voted the same way. JMO

THANK YOU!!! Are you satisfied now Kev, the friggin race caller says it was legit.


And GPK, I know you are sleeping right now but I just watched the head-on three times and he barely nudged him, if they were to call that crap every single time, we would be getting DQ's every race. If Blanc would have got him into the hole and he came over like that and hit half of the horses body then I'll side with you but Blanc was going for a closing hole and tried a sell job....

You really are blind. Blanc was already there, in that path beside Black Jack. When they came to the top of the stretch, Liver was moving best of the 3 horses, but he still came over in the path of Billy Allen and caused him to check.

Work with me here, Kev would have fallen for that 'out' if he didn't get a sidekick

The race caller looked at the head on and other views about 22 times before forming an opinion.
