And you can't drift if you are 2 lengths in front? When did he actually IMPEDE the 4?

Before I go any further I am going to rewatch but I thought it was questionable.

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

the stews had to check thier pick 4 tix........

I just watched it again. i want everyone to go back and watch the pan-view, NEVER ONCE do they touch. He does drift at the top of the turn and maybe intimidates him but that was very touchy in my opinion.

I had both the 9 and 10 and I wouldn't have hit the exacta any way I looked at it, but I think that was pretty weak. Just because you drift doesn't mean you have to get taken down

The 4 was shorter odds.. they were afraid someone was going to eat a bitter pill so they made more people happy and took down that mean ole 7-1 horse.

seriously the horse failed to maintain a straigt course. I've had horses taken down just because a jockey acted surprised when he got passed. Heck, I've had 'em taken down becasue the horse behind them tried running up their backside.. you can't win when it comes to long odd horses and the stewards.

This is what's beautiful about the whole thing.

A horse drifts significantly in the stretch, impedes the path of another horse, bumping it twice AND

there are people here arguing that nothing happened

because

the pan shot didn't show anything

wtf is the pan shot supposed to show?

WATCH THE HEADON, doofus

this was a NO BRAINER takedown

In this case the head on didnt tell the story. Watch the pan shot. The 10 NEVER came into contact or was that close to interfering. The 10 was clear the whole way. Desormeaux should get an academy award. Was a horrible call.

I saw him drift live, but saw how far clear he was. Walked away from the TV donated some more at the window. Got $1 hot dog or two. Came back sat down and heard someone bitching about the DQ. I had to ask what track because the 10 was so far clear at Keeneland, I knew it couldn't be there.

My redboard of the day....I played Tampa and Keeneland all day and did not cash one ticket...not one. Can't remember the last time that happened. As Scav would say I got SMOKED.

I guess if the 10 is committing a foul he doesn't get to decide where he is placed. The 9 shouldn't be penalized at all so.. he gets moved up with the horse that was...


just saying what if the dead heat was for the win and the other horse did nothing wrong should he get taken down...

There is no other way to do it.........Person at the OTB had 10/all , all/10 he really got screwed.

Now that is a real kick in the balls, instead of a double Exacta (10/4 and 10/9) he gets his dick in his hand......oh what a feeling
