It looked like Townie's Dream was coming over on Shrewd and wasn't clear.

Prado might have chickened a bit by veering in a little (causing the trouble of the two horses to his inside) but if he catches Townie's Dreams' heals he could get dropped.

Because of the camera angle its tough to tell how much at fault Espinoza was on TD or if Prado just overreacted.

I'm not so sure TD would have stayed up had he hit the board. Prado always seems to get the benefit of the doubt.
