Bumping isn't against the rules. Who was blocked from running on, or was taken out?

from what i saw on the overhead, it was a pretty significant bump. but...the stewards were probably all in shock.

Know one cares? Tell that to the connections of those that got bumped. Several thousand dollars in difference

I saw the blimp shot. That's Garret going all in with his sideways move. He threatens to come all the way over, but doesn't. The other guy always buys that move (like this guy did.) Give him credit. Guy has wicked intimidation stuff. Who got suckered? Bejarano? LOL..Like Bejarano hasn't seen that move from GOGO once a week? Kind of like some pitchers curveball. Know it's coming, but it's just too good.

I loved Papa Clem in this race, and my love lost luster with Bejarano up. He sees the move at SA and HOL ALL THE TIME, and he still goes for it.

Bejarano does it too, but it's not as good. They still let him do it though. From what I remember, he does more of a herding or gradual thing. Gomez has by far the best intimidation move. Works almost each time he does it. They move over, there's usually not that much actual contact (cuz they move over.) He quickly gets his horse moving forward again, and the enemy(who wasn't expecting to have to move laterally) loses that slight momentum advantage they had. I would guess the jocks didn't call it, because they didn't think they would get it changed(and both Bejarano n' Coa like to do it too.) Heard Bejarano after, and he didn't even mention it.

Probably the dumbest thing I've read on this board. At least racing-related. There absolutely should've at least been an inquiry. CD is a joke.
