If by 'Wednesday', you mean the 11th, and Pu Dew, I can't tell what he did wrong.

As for today's 1st: is it his fault, or the stewards, that Maragh, in the 3 path, decides to come in a path going into the turn, and squeezes him? This happens a few times a day, at every track, and the stewards, at some point, will realize that it's as dangerous as anything else that can happen on the track and will start fining jocks for not keeping a straight path entering the turn. Someday, it just might happen. There were a couple of blatant cases of this (squeezes into the rail on the turn) at TAM last week; I mean, these were so ****in brutal that it's a wonder the horse/jock didn't go down; and the stewards did **** about it. However, it's good to know that should a jock (other than Castellano or Sutherland) drift a half lane or so in the stretch, the stewards will be there for the takedown.
