I thought the DQ was warranted. I certainly don't want horses that take the path of others, in a drive, to be kept up.

Rather than blaming the horse or the stewards, you really need to look at your jock. Rocker struggled momentarily and then 'skip' changed early stretch. He was pumped for a few strides THEN COA, out of habit I suppose, busted him righty a few times, causing him to go in. Subtle YET got him DQd.

Don't take much to lose a race.

I'm going to move on with this because it may come across to some that I am disgruntled, atleast from your reply to me it sounded like that, It's horseracing and today is a new day and really every point of view I present would be under a biased opinion, even though I believe I am being rationale with my opinions. To me this is no different than a conversation we would be having at the track or OTB, if I said to you with a wink "didn't prado sell that dq well"

Well I think Steve said it best today both TOE and HR would have been deserving winners, that I can agree with and I'll just leave it at that.
