Meanwhile, all the focus on this incident has overshadowed the day's earlier jockey hijinx which saw David Cohen (Not Now Ashley) nearly send Javier Castellano over the rail on Crushing in the 2nd race. Castellano checked up repeatedly before drawing nearly even inside Not Now Ashley before Cohen abruptly shut him off. Castellano and Chad Brown were none too pleased, and Brown was already unhappy with Castellano's choices last week on firster Self Control. Will be interested to see if Cohen gets a benching for his stunt.
Unfortunately I did not get to hear this until my ride home from work due to the Sirius changes. Mig was terrific in his explanation and separation between fact and opinion. Mig's conclusion is wholly warranted and, unlike others on this board, supported with circumstantial factual evidence. Great work with this issue today Steve!

How about Bailey using Eddington like a piece of meat in the Belmont? Jerry is just a bad guy. Shame no one realized it.

I would hear it discussed when I used to spend a lot of time in New York & I agreed with them... I'm sure more than a few on this board realized it also.

Stewart Elliot was dumb enough to take his bait and go with him. Smarty Jones was on the lead and the inexperienced Stewart Elliot played into the fast pace. Eddington did finish 4th and not dead last as you may have played the race in your head.

I kinda hope he does appeal it, just so he gets stuck with 10 days. I agreed with Rich Migliore's take. His analysis of the situation was very well done.

"Inexperienced"? Elliott had won probably 3,700 races in maybe 20,000 rides by the time Smarty Jones came along... very inexperienced. The decision Elliot made was dictated by the horse. Riders will explain that you're always better off giving the mount leeway in that situation than trying to continue to restrain them. The energy they expend fighting the rider will have a greater negative impact then giving them their head and letting them go as far as they can.

Finished fourth by what, like 20 lengths? Because finishing last by 20 or 4th by 20 really makes a big difference.

My bad, I have been trying to selectively read some of the posts in the thread and I accidently must have skipped yours.
