I don't say that because it cost me. I've actually griped publicly about DQ's that moved me up, when I thought that they were ideiotic. This was bizarre. They put her LAST!!!!

To add to the conspiracy theory, the head on replay of the race now on calracing.com is heavily edited. Just the break, and the finish.

The regular replay shows the apparent clipping of heels while she was ahead of only about 3 of the 8 horses.

Not noted in the chart is that she did appear to cross over on one of the horses in the stretch.

My question is, what the heck was going on that 6 of the horses in the race were scratched?

It's odd to look at a race with 8 horses and see a #11 in the chart.
