You have guys like baffert,beyer etc etc etc well respected guys saying it was bullshit. It cost me north of 5k and it was and will be horrible decison. The worst being that **** statement the **** stewards prepared after waiting ****ing 23 minutes to make the WRONG decison if their trying to "grow" the game with younger fans wellyou couldn't of handled that any worse. Younger people myslef included don't have the patience to be sitting around waiting for three clowns to make a **** decison. And now their promoting the **** of this 80oclm on May 18th (i mean the preakness stakes) GTFO

Just as many respected people think it was the right call. How many days are you going to carry on?

Just imagine how hard he would have taken Smarty Jones's defeat in the Belmont.

There's a reason the selections board has dwindled down to about a handful of guys since I've been following (2015) the game is in a death spiral and the few fans they've gained in the past few years are gone. Short of running keenenlad and Saratoga all summer there's no new fans.

Again, for an experienced gambler you don’t take losing very well.

Twitter has all but ruined most racing message boards. But seriously, don’t let the door hit you on your way out. Horse racing isn’t for the soft.

Dude, I've had worse beats and scores happen the other way. if they would've came out after five minutes and make the DQ You'd have alot less people (myself included) way less pissed. The grandstanding and mott chirping and Barbara whatever her face is not answering questions the whole ****ing thing was a joke. And now all the crusty old horse guys are acting as if this was the worst foul in history and saying "he's lucky he didn't wipe out half the field" well guess what HE DIDN'T you had a group of people who felt like it was their time to show america the "integrity" of the game on national tv. Guess what? It blew up in their face and it's deserved you're the head steward of Kentucky Barb not Hazel Park RIP ��

So why are you acting like such a cry baby? You’re mad the inquiry took too long?

No one is acting like it was the worst foul ever. But it was a foul and the correct call was made. Get over it.
