Race 12 Inordinate DQ

[JBJake]

Has someone been able to explain the DQ in race 12? The supposedly bothered horse didn't seem like he was going to win anyway as he never really lost stride down the stretch. A seemingly ridiculous DQ, no?

It was one of the most ridiculous DQs I've ever seen. With what they let these guys get away with on a daily basis, it made absolutely no sense. The 1 never lost momentum and was not cost a better placing. Disgraceful.

What would pick 4 have paid if inconsistent blind bel stewards didn't have their heads up their asses again ?

100% agree. Let them race, especially in the last couple furlongs of a turf route, when all the real running begins.

I was wondering why Ortiz claimed foul?

The amount of $$$ that DQ cost me was substantial.....I am glad the opinion I had is sane as I thought perhaps it was my vested interest in that outcome that was swaying my thoughts.

I had Inordinate in a wager BUT i agree with the DQ. That number 1 was not going to win but it definetley cost him a placing for 3 or 4th losing out by a head. He was pushed wide and that was probably the difference between coming in 4th and coming in 5th.

Had to be awkward for Chad Brown and his two sets of owners in the winner's circle, as they awaited the decision.
