Questionable takedown in the Belmont 7th

[VOL JACK]

They made the right call.
I did not bet the race either.

I guess that's pretty much my question as well.

Didn't seem like much of an infraction. I guess that winning margain came into play. If it wins by open lengths, I doubt they even take much of a look.

Kenny P and I both had the 11 and thought the margin of victory definitely played into the decision. In the end, it didnt matter for me as I did not have the #1 horse in the nightcap on my P4 ticket.

I'm horribly biased given the way I wagered but I really don't think anyone who regularly watches NYRA can see there being any justification for that DQ. This was the first time in years a horse was put up who never steadied, never lost momentum, and never had his path taken.

i agree too and i did not bet until the 8th. if i had that horse i would of been pissed. but , thats what you get from old people that can't see so well or make the clearest judgements. i'm 47 and i don't try to play hardball anymore. this has been going on for years in NY. i still remember when they actually took the wrong horse down after the usual 10 minute delay. they need competent people that give details for their reasoning. a new york players worst nightmare is a blinking number.......its been this way for years and years.
