I think that 99% arguing for and against (including me) are transparent in their position. Bayern closed my Pick 3 and I didn't have TONY anywhere, so I think they got it right. Those with TONY are furious about the non-call and don't acknowledge he cause some trouble himself. The Shared Believe and Chrome crowds are looking for a way to move their guy up, but it just wasn't the day.

No matter who you bet, and therefore support, there is no denying that Bayern ran his tail off in victory and the horse earned the win.
I agree that Toast interfered badly, perhaps even worse than Bayern. That may have been a chain reaction though.

Bayern did anything but earn his win. He needed two things to happen in the race to win, and they both did. He needed Moreno to not show speed, and then he needed nobody to collar him around the 3/8ths pole.
