On the accusation of Corinthinian being held by the starter.
A friend of mine owns a horse that ran in this race. A photographer took three photos as quickly as the shutter on her camera could click on Saturday. She was located behind the rail, a few feet out from the starting gate with her lens trained on every horse.
Late last night, I looked at the three photos, in subsequent order. Corinthian was almost sitting on his hind when the gate sprung, he gathers his hind legs with his front legs higher in the second shot, and in the third shot he visibly leaps forward leaving the gate behind all other starters.
I have no idea how the jock remained on him. And in all three photos, BOTH OF THE STARTERS HANDS are in view,
above and away from the horse.
To put this to rest for yourself, and OTB patron's who where accusing unfairness, and therefore flaming all of their tickets.
THIS did not happen as claimed.
If the photos were my own I would post them here, but they are not.
I hope this will help some to see that there was no wrongdoing on NYRA's part.
