![]() Maybe they arranged for that horse to get a clear rail run around the track.

![]() The race in question was in NY and you'd be hard pressed to find a trainer in NY getting only $50/day. If the horse that was hit was prevented from making her best placing, it changed the outcome for them, even if she was not going to WIN.

![]() In this particular case, the incident did not appear to have cost the horse a placing. The horse that was fouled ran 4th and would not have run better than 4th even if the incident did not happen.

![]() As DrugS has repeatedly said, she was 7 lengths behind third. She wasn't finishing any better than 4th. While I disagree with the decision, it didn't cost the 7 a placing.

![]() In football do you think they should call pass interference if the receiver was fouled but the ball was uncatchable? If not, why not?

![]() Today's second race at LAD featured some young-guns who were clearly green. In the stretch, the eventual winner veered-in and interfered with the ultimate second place finisher. The winner was definitely the better horse, but was DQ'd for the infraction.
In one case it's DQing the obvious infraction, in the other it's not-DQing the obvious infraction because it affected the outcome. I think both sides have legitimate arguments, but regardless, across the industry as a whole, the decisions should be consistent. |
