4:48 pm: Rank outsider 58-1 Coordinate outfinished 2-1 favorite Alexahente but properly did not survive a stewards' inquiry and a claim of foul and the order of finish was reversed. Coordinate clearly veered in and forced Alexahente to be taken up in deep stretch.

Coordinate, a Darley homebred by Hard Spun who was trounced in two dirt sprints at 49-1 and 46-1, went right to the front and forgot to stop. Alexahente, an Eddie Kenneally second-timer, was gaining at the rail when Coordinate cme over and cost him all momentum.

Durkin picked up on it right away as they crossed the finish line: "Coordinate is the winner -- well, at least under the wire first."

Trolling as you usually do. The call is 100% indefensible. Christ is full of it here and had an interest in the call on the pk6 ticket. The 1 barely touched the 3, that is if he did at all. Even so, the 1 was clearly better in the stretch and would have won regardless. We have seen much worse interference this meet that did not result in a DQ.

The call was criminal and it should be investigated.

Now go away troll.
