Another Confusing Decision from the NY Stewards

I think what we are trying to portray to you is the fact that they both got the same amount of days is what is mind boggling to us. If they want to give Martin a couple days for "careless riding", so be it. But for the stewards to actually think they both deserve the same suspension...it just flat bullsh*t and speaks volumes for their competancy in the job they are doing.

Thank you for clarifying what seems to be being missed by some.

What is also being lost here are the bettors. It is very possible the outcome of the race was altered by Coa's behavoir.

Andy, why do you think they left Ice up for show? I guess they felt the outcome of the race wouldn't have changed had the incident not occured?
