On the fouls.....Gomez drifted for sure but the 9 came in dramatically as well. Of course, it would help if their head on wasn't at an angle but it's more important to give $1 million away on a fake race than spend $5K to get an actual head on. That is assuming they even understand the principle of a head on shot.
My 1st opinion was a double d.q.,but HRTV did not do a good job showing the head-on.Looked like Gomez forced the middle horse out to the 9 a little ,too.For sure Garrett fouled.Don't know why they would leave him up.That was plenty to bother a horse who only got beat a half head,and actually the outside horse probably did enough to get taken down(since middle horse only lost by half head.)Would like to see what the 9 did again though.
