Scav,
It was a good call.........I had the 10-9 exacta box.........as soon as I saw the head on, I knew I lost.

The real bad bump was at the line though..I know the 10 moved out several times, but do you think the 4 was going to get there?

I wasn't positive but Kent D. acted as if the horse was hit by a missile........ went a long way with the stewards IMO........By the way my earlier comment was not intended for you.

I know RE Comment...thnx

that was a long conversation they must have had before they posted the change. Funny though..they had the DH up in 15 seconds between the 9 and the 4. Those usually take a while

I agree i thought the #10 had some lengths on him, no reason or excuse why Kent didn't wheel his horse inside and go from there, the way Kent was working on his horse he knew he wasn't on a winner down the lane, but my oh my what claim of fouls can do for a jock. Anyone also see the way he eyeballed Lezcano when they crossed the wire, he lookedat him as though Lezcano chopped him off at the legs or something

needless to say i had both the 4 and 10 in that race as the 2nd leg of my pk3 ticket (in which Ruthy completed in the last leg) would have been much better off getting a $15+ horse then catching a $5 DH

just my opinion

by the way, how the hell are ya kings? hows the weather in PITT?

More so, where the hell have you been?

Savalicious—Scavareno—Scavenger , how goes it?
Yeah your boy Kent D. cost me some coin on that race.

I had to take a little “sabbatical” from the racing industry, my new job doesn’t afford me to listen to Byk or watch races at work anymore. So I was kind of handcuffed to weekends only, but for the most part I’ve been on the shelf since the new year.

Let me know what kind of plans you got for the summer, I’m trying to put a Right Coast (Saratoga) Left Coast (Del Mar) weekend/ week trips together, and hell maybe even a trip to the windy city again. Hope all is well

Aside from the argument about whether a foul took place or not...,

Once they decided to DQ the 10, she had to be placed behind the 4. Behind the 4, means in this case, behind the dead-heat. The 9 got lucky. What would you prefer, that the 10 is placed second behind the 4, and the 9 demoted to third? That's even more unfair.

Haven't you ever seen a horse DQed from a win for fouling a horse who finished 3rd, 4th, 5th..., promoting the second finisher to the win, despite not being bothered? Happened in the first BC Fillies Juvenile - Fran's Valentine knocked a couple of horses going no-where out of the way to get through, was DQed to 10th, giving the win to Outstandingly. Just the way the rule works.

Watch the pan angle, he is like a 1.5 lengths in front...It really didn't matter because I got SMOKED today but still, i didn't think he touched him at all, more the 4 trying to win an academy award. i am going to rewatch it in a second to confirm what I saw....I am probably wrong though

it was a good call. i don't know that i've ever seen 2 horses that close to the grandstand rail. the 10 kept drifting wider and wider.
the head-on was the best view.
