More stewards nonsense
 
Someone, anyone: Go watch the head-on of the stretch run of today's 2nd at Belmont and explain to me how there wasn't even AN INQUIRY into the winner's drifting. Absolutely unacceptable.

And then they DQ El Oh El in the 3rd for slight drifting. You can't make this stuff up. Breathtaking inconsistency.

and in the third race the inquiry sign goes up for an very minor incident in mid-stretch and a DQ is made.

Did not see the second, but El Oh El deserved to come down. The contact, where horse came out under left handed whip, was the point at which he opened up advantage on Hoppy Do. (And I had no financial interest in the outcome.)

I disagree, but that's defensible. What isn't defensible, especially in light of that DQ, is what happened in the 2nd and the lack of even an inquiry into it.
