Andy, did you think it should have been looked at? It seemed that the check/interference costed the horse a position. You would think that the horse would have at the worst finished 3rd. That's why I thought that they would look at it. If it would have happened in the stretch, they would have surely taken a look, right?

I did think it was admirable on the (4) White Tie's part that he came back after that incident. I thought it was impressive for a firster to re-rally like that.

Not sure if you guys heard the story about this or not. Apparently after each race if a jock wants to claim an objection, he has to go to the outrider and let them know. From what they said on tv, for some reason there wasnt an outrider available to the jocks right after the race, so no objection could have been made. By the time Garcia got back to the phone by the finish line, the result was already made official....and apparently Garcia went nuts yelling at the stewards. I am not sure why the stewards were so quick to make this official. From the head on it didnt look like the winner caused any interference, it was Cornelio's horse who definitely came over....enough for a dq? Not sure about that.

I can't speak for the stewards, but we have to believe they did look at it and decided not to review it in terms of an inquiry. Certainly Stevie Wonder would have seen the horse check and it is a steward's job to review what happened. I think there is a misconception that a decision isn't made by any set of stewards if an inquiry isn't posted. An inquiry may mean they just feel they need more time to look the situation over.

Now, if there wasn't an available outrider for Garcia to submit a claim of foul then that is a different story and it should be looked into. Certainly a rider needs to have the opportunity to make a claim. It sounds like heresay that there wasn't, so I'm not going to rush to judgement, but I certainly hope and expect that this is being seriously looked into.

Not sure if this were stated, but Jay Privman said on ESPN that he tried to claim foul but it never got to the stewards, or something to that effect

I didn't hear what Jay said, and certainly he has my greatest respect, but I will reserve judgement on exactly what went down. I find not taking everything I hear around the racetrack at face value has been a great benefit to me.

They cut to Jay Privman and he reported it, and Randy Moss and Bailey went biserk about it after they cut back

Bailey may have gone biserk but I am guessing, if anything, Randy went berserk.

Bailey's commentary is really a riot. I heard a little of him during the Preakness. Does he know it's horse racing or does he think jockeys run around the track?

You can say that again...

Had you heard that Dennis of Cork was sick on Saturday?

I missed that laugher. I must have been too busy trying to avoid people that wanted to hug me in the 197 degree heat.
