I bet the #13, Chokecherymary. She looked great on the track.

I watched the race live on TV and Chokecherymary never got a call. As soon as the race was over the inquiry sign went up. I thought this was about the #12 who came out of the gate rearing a bit and the jock lost his irons. It was difficult to tell what happened because the last place you're going to look for trouble at this point is behind the starting gate. The announcer never mentioned that the horse was left at the gate. I don't think anyone knew what was going on during the race other than the people behind the gate and the stewards.

When the inquiry was announced they showed the replay head on. When the gates opened, there's the poor guy standing in the gate while Chantal on the #13 is just behind the gate turning the horse around trying to quiet her down, I'm sure. Darnedest thing I've seen lately.

From what I could see, Chantal and her horse never made it into the gate.
