the hole was there. he had his shoulders in it then was bumped by that winner as he closed it off. common sense tells one that nobody runs a horse into another horse from behind like that. it only makes sense there was a hole there when KD accelerated into it and then was intefered with.

Sumitas,
I usually agree with you. Just my two cents...races go forward. If KD thought he saw a hole and went for it, even though it wasn't there, no need to whine about it. He almost got himself and his horse killed.
Bad riding. He needs to ride forward, like all the others...and not think that because he's coming, others are looking back behind to give him something.
They're not looking there.

Hard to comment accurately here without a head on . Even on the pan it looked tight--bad judgement on Kent's part and raceriding from Martinez . BUT, at the sixteenths Kent was desparate to re rally after almost falling and being shuffled out of contention . Ball Four under Martinez definitely drifted out into PT's path . I do not believe the objection was frivilous, but I do believe Desormeaux left his brain elsewhere . I would love to see a head on.
