Yes it cost me a lot. I really feel like the overhead showed the 1 clear of the 4 and it was a pretty good acting job by Irad. And the 1 won so easily, there was absolutely no reason to put the 2 up for the win because a gelding with no breeding future might have been cost 2nd place in a 200k stakes race. You steal $110k from the connections of the 1 for that? It’s a 16k difference between 2nd and 3rd. WTF????

You say consistency yet based on the DQ last Saturday this was the right call.
Getting DQ’d sucks. I get it. But the 1 came over on the 4, who in turn came over on the 6 who lost all chance.
They don’t DQ based on breeding futures.
