I don't know about back there. I think I saw him not get put up on a Baffert this Spring. I thought he should have been put up.Would have been put up out here. Don't have head-on for the Travers. No doubt he fouls a lot. Like I said, if you foul, then you better run really well after that, or the horse you fouled better not show much run after the foul. Nobody likes to take a horse down that ran that well late, and out-bobbed a horse for a win. It's important for guys (who think they got fouled) to keep riding hard after they're fouled. They need to show the stewards how much horse they had. For the most part, they only want to take down a horse to right an obvious injustice. If he fouled somebody that was flying late, then he had a chance of coming down. If you're asking them to take a winner down for costing someone 5th money, then it's hard to get them to do that.
