At dinner tonight the topic of Allumeuse came up. She was the filly who was DQ'ed at SAR about 20 years ago in a complete error. She was literally no place near the incident and stewards lost their jobs over it.
That was the first thing I thought of last night when that filly came down.

Was the question ever posed to the stewards as to what their decision to take the horse down was based on?

I watched this race on Calracing at first and thought it seemed ridiculous.
I then watched it on the NJbets site and got the steward views and thought that while it was still a bad DQ, there at least was a modicum of justification for it. Their reasoning happened at the 3/8ths pole. She 'might' have drifted in about an eighth of an inch or so, which caused the horse on her immediate inside to drift in a bit more and that caused the rail horse to take up violently. Stormy but Valid's DQ at SA a number of years ago remains the lamest DQ I've seen. |
