Top Flight at Aqueduct

Rahy's Appeal's owner has appealed the DQ.
I didn't have a cent on the race, but the bettors who had RA got hosed.

Oh, could you imagine if they over turn this. Boy, I would be in a fit of rage of I had Rahy's Appeal.

Well,it is a foul.She wasn't moving over when he hit her.She had already done that.She was there,and for whetever reason ,he blew it,and whipped her hard.Now,whether she had any chance to come back on(if not hit) is the question.They may find that the stewards were wrong to think she had any shot to rally back on(if she wasn't hit.) The majority on here,think she had no shot to rally back,and so it is odd that 2 out of the 3 stewards would think she had a chance to win the race.I have seen too many horses rally back for me to say she had no shot.It probably didn't have an effect on the outcome of the race,but I don't know if they have to go by probably,or certainty.
