I think the fatman secretly has a crush on Prado and a few other jocks.

Just watched the replay, that was maybe the worst DQ I've ever seen. An absolute crime to take her down, the 3 lugging in coming off the turn almost sent her over the rail!!!! HOW THE F DO YOU PUT THE 3 UP AFTER THAT?!?!? F*CK!

i agree, the word CRIME came to my mind as well. i don't recall a more baseless action by the stewards.

It is overwhelming to read all the negative posts about every aspect of thoroughbred racing at NYRA tracks. Makes me think of the worst bullrings in Mexico. Yet, NY racing, as written in national publications, is the best racing in the US. Hmmm.

From Steve Crist formblog

"I would prefer to see the stewards exercise their judgment"

Man he has a lot more faith in the stewards and their judgement then I do rather then a "foul is a foul" mentality.

Was the horse better than the 3rd place finisher? Yes.

Did it cost the 3rd place horse a better placing? No.

If they want to punish Saez for what took place, then fine, but I don't understand this decision to d.q. Atleast in the 2 races at HWD (on Thursday) it wasn't nearly as obvious who was the better horse (on the day.)

Agree on both points- That should be the determination of whether a horse gets disqualified or not, end of story.
