Hossy and Andy have plenty to be pissed about. This is the worst kind of objection/decision.. where a horse going nowhere is brushed or sideswiped by an onrushing runner yet is given a placing by the stewards out of the inquiry. Cruz and Saturday Launch -- who were all over the place -- actually jumped out into the path of Argentine Tango ahead of the incident. These are 2yo's in a turf race. There's going to be some hijinks and the stewards do horseplayers no favor interjecting themselves in a result where the contact had no affect on the outcome.
Hoss.. We're off this week, but will have Ritvo on plenty when doing the show from GP in a few weeks. But how much can track management do when the judges react to things in this manner?
