Sal Gonzalez was the one who messed that race up. Spanky would have won by open lengths if he had a competent jock on his back.

All I can say is wow. That was crazy. I do think the stewards got it right after watching the replay.

Victor had him measured.No doubt in my mind Tiago blows by him.Spank was all over the place,but he never had his momentum totally stopped (like Tiago did.)

What's really weird is that Gonzales had another do that exact same thing last year in a stakes race at Oaklawn. It was almost identical. Both the horse today and the horse at Oaklawn bolted at the top of the stretch and then again at the 1/8th pole. And both horses then came back on. The one at Oaklawn ended up running 2nd.

Now I remember who the horse was at Oaklawn. It was Miss Norman. The race was the $250,000 Fantasy Stakes.
