Questionable takedown in the Belmont 7th

[fpsoxfan]

I just watched this a few more times and I think I'm even more baffled. I've had take downs before where I felt it was very obvious that cost me money. This one cost me the exacta and the double going into the eighth, but judging by some of the post yesterday it cost others (including Andy) much more.
The 7 horse Timber cat never lost stride and was only slightly carried out by Muy Guapo. Maybe I'm wrong, but take a look for yourself and see what you think.

They made the right call.
I did not bet the race either.

I guess that's pretty much my question as well.

Didn't seem like much of an infraction. I guess that winning margain came into play. If it wins by open lengths, I doubt they even take much of a look.

Kenny P and I both had the 11 and thought the margin of victory definitely played into the decision. In the end, it didnt matter for me as I did not have the #1 horse in the nightcap on my P4 ticket.
