There was zero urging and outright restraint by several jockeys as their mounts tugged them to the lead in the final furling. Lo and behold they were all caught at the wire. Even though I cashed on the race, I still recognized the race was a farce.
I don't care what anyone says, this has to be considered a late nominee in the "Redboard of the Year" category. That is creativity at its finest.

Scoff as you wish, but that was my impression as I watched the race unfold. We are talking about Louisiana, you know.

Scoff? It was a nomination. The fact you cashed had nothing at all to do with anything, but you slid it in the side door. Well done!

I mentioned that to deflect any accusations of sour grapes. It wasn't like I said I killed the race.

Thumbs down DUMB!

"Lord" you dumb ignorant bitch,I have personal Private knowledge of so called "shenanigans" occurring jut this year any many others in the past!
They are very rare and part of my handicapping process is to try and stay away of races with the potential for "stiffs" or trainer/jockey intent other than to win a race.
but to think that there is not drugs or electric blankets or buzzers or any other type of cheating out side the rules of racing is both naive and terribly dumb to mention write or speculate on
