How is that not a foul????? not even an inquiry???????? Gomez did have contact with the #4 and probably cost him the race. It was not like the #4 had no chance of winning but that contact detered the horse/jockey to push harder for the win. That is absolutely inconsistent to the call made in the Best Pal as far as keeping the same path explanation. Gomez gets a free pass on this one

No, trust me, GOMEZ gets gets a free pass on all of them. Let me tell ya EAJ. THIS IS A FOUL. The thing is whether you think the winner was the better horse. That's the way they judge this stuff. That's pretty hard to determine when ya have to wait around for 2 seconds while somebody is in your way. He isn't making up a lot of ground late. So, it's a tough choice, because they don't go by fouls.They go by who they think was the better horse. If they went by whether it was a foul or not, then he has to come down. If a horse is fouled, and gobbling up ground at the wire, then it's an easy decision. What I am saying is this is a judgement call. Gomez gets every judgement call they can possibly give him, and Espinoza loses every possible judgement call. If Espinoza was on this winner of the last race, then there is no doubt that guy would come down. Bodacat did less(I think) and got taken down.
