Does it matter which jock fouls ?

Not really sure it mattered anyway. It wasn't that bad.

Maybe the stewards check out their tickets and factor that in to the decision.

The reason I asked this question was because I am pretty sure the stewards would have taken down somebody like Maragh's horse for doing what Prado's horse did in the 1st race yesterday.I didn't bet the race.So,it just seemed odd to me.

I might be wrong but i also think it has to do with the horses odds. If a horse finishes second at 3/5 they have a better chance of being put the winner than a 10/1 shot does if there is an inquiry/objection.

You can say that again. I had a 60-1 that did absolutely nothing wrong.
Pat Day acted surprised to see the horse sweeping wide on the turn and that was it. Not a ding dong thing wrong. Never took 1 improper step. They showed replay after replay of my horse doing nothing wrong and then took him down.

Odds make all the difference in the world and the jockey too. One time Guidry acted like he was cut off when the horse was no where near him. He couldn't win it fair and square so he took it via and acting job.

I have to agree with Gander. They get on the phone ask everyone of their buddies if they need any help and they get it.
