Even if the horse with the dramatic troubled trip had 10 lengths worth of trouble, which I think he probably did, that's only good enough to put him in a photo finish with bottom level fillies.

Obviously, this is a stern test to the "there are no trips in slow races" rule ... but the right thing to do is bet against everything but the 2nd place finisher. And honestly, the way this race is being shown all over the Internet, I'd definitely want to bet against the 2nd place finisher the next time he runs as well.

You were right,Your a Kill Joy!
