Saratoga Robbery

Rocktard proves once again that he is not only a troll, but not too bright. Yesterday he calls the Msawish DQ horrible and then tries to justify the DQ of Coordinate today. Clearly if one thought the call was bad where the contact made by Msawish was much worse than the contact made by Coordinate, logically he cannot really think the latter was a justified DQ.

Therefore the board dipshit is clearly trolling again.

LOL I really hope people are reading this stuff.... So Serling was wrong also? Because on twitter he did not seem to thrilled with the Msawish DQ.
Here is whats happening right now, and its crystal clear to anyone who takes 5min and reads this. I said this DQ today was close, but I felt it was correct.... Because you lost you went crazy and started with the personal insults again. Stay classy and again, Im sorry that you lost.
Now you tell people how to think logically? I said today's call I felt was close but correct. You must think you are like the horse god kingpin steward now. Because Im wrong, Crist is wrong and everyone is wrong, except you. And Im not going away. If you want to keep this up and Byk feels I should be gone for this then so be it. I have said nothing wrong in this thread, at all. Nothing. You lost, your steaming and your acting like a 3yr old. Those are the facts.

The point I'm making is they left horses up all meet who did much worse. As usual there is no consistency from the Stewards. You really have to hold your breath every time the inquiry sign goes up. It's not fair to the bettors.

Rosie is the queen of the frivolous foul claim. She should have a bright future as an actress, one day.

She must be convincing on the phone, too. The stewards looked at Startup Nation, for about five minutes, after her preposterous foul claim in the With Anticipation stakes earlier in the week.

Alvarado's horse did come over and intimidate her, even brushed with her horse, but it was a sell-job on her part to stop riding.

It's a simple solution:

* The incident in question didn't have any impact on the outcome of the race. It didn't cost anyone a placing. The horse who was intimidated in deep stretch still managed to finish 2nd.

* Leave the winner up. Fine or suspend the jock.

That way, the jock is properly punished. However, the bettors who played the winner, the trainer of the winner, and the owner of the winner aren't punished.

Unfortunately, if the incident does result in a horse being cost a placing, there has to be a DQ.

The stewards have been great this meet, imo. But this was the wrong call, today.

DId you read the drf article with her comments about the Startup Nation race? She said Joel put all the other jockeys in danger.

Could've been retribution for Junior's ridiculous comments about the non-DQ in the Woodward.

Calzone, today's claim of foul was a trainer objection...not Rosie! But she must be good on the phone!

Looking at the head on of the whole race, a case could be made for disqualification, but more for Coordinate blowing the far turn and causing several horses (most notably #12) to take up. By the looks of things, the stewards didn't even look at that. To me, that impacted the race a lot more than anything that happened in the stretch. He should have either been left up or placed farther down the field, but placing him second was not the right call.
