Cheap DQ's imo - and one of the agents say the stewards have an agenda against him - and I guess they want to take it out on the bettors as well.

Didn't see it either. A jock from the MD/PA circuit played Jacinto Vasquez.

Speaking of Baeza, talk about bad luck. He was the regular rider of both the Phipps monster Buckpasser and the highly touted Graustark in the same year, and yet neither made it to the Kentucky Derby. Not sure if he picked up another mount for the race.
