Don't understand them calling it a No Contest?

Probably had to do with him (Calvin) lying on the track.

Have seen many jocks go down and it always sucks but this is the first time I see a No Contest being declared.

Yea they usually don't go down at the start and there are less and less two turn races. He went down after the finish line but not by much.

Piss poor job by Kurt Becker to explain what was happening. He still hasn't. Then Battaglia comes on and says, "If you saw what happened, Calvin Borel was being treated on the track"... NO, we didn't see what happened, the camera never showed what was happening, and Becker didn't announce what was happening...

Love the phone ringing in the booth mid race.

Surprised they did anything with that.

[dellinger63]

Prayers being asked for on Calvin's FB. Initial reports just a concussion but God Bless.

Seth, I was listening to the call on the radio. Thought Becker explained it pretty well.

I was watching the live feed, and he called the horse going down, kept calling the race, until approximately the 1/2 mile pole or so, then stopped (as I'm sure he was being told it was a no-contest). He then told us it was a no contest, but NEVER said why. The camera NEVER showed what was going on with Calvin Borel either, they just cut to a still shot of nothing.

So he certainly told us quickly it was being called a no-contest race by the stewards, and then explained how the wagers would be handled. BUT my problem was we were never told or shown why.

Did I miss that?

[herkhorse]

You probably didn't miss anything. Maybe it was the guys on HRRN that explained that Calvin was lying by the finish line.
