I made a nice win bet 2 save my weekend on Bayern but after watching replay he should have come down, Garcia is known for this kinda of stuff.

Mountaineer 7
$20 win 8

Very true. Does anyone know who the stewards were at the BC ? Are they Cali stewards, or are stewards hired from other jurisdicions. ? This is total BS, it wasnot a maiden race with green horses and riders. :wf

to add insult to injury the judges will probably give Garcia days for careless riding

Congrats Jim, but he should have came down.

I know I didn't use Bayern or Moreno for the fact that I expected a duel up front. Now the horse ran huge, but him coming over 3 paths at the start eliminated Shared Belief and took out Moreno totally changing the dynamics of the race.

And for Shared Belief to run 4th after the trouble he encountered makes me think that the horse is a true monster.

I would have understood if he was taken down but like I said before it is rare for a horse to get taken down for something that happens at the start. With the exception of the juvenile which was an absolute freak show the track has played extremely kind to those on the front end all week. As usual it was set up for Baffert on a big day.
