You could say that.

I just thought it a great shot.

I think it shows that this incident DID affect the outcome of the race. Moreno clearly gets a good jump but loses all chance because of what Bayern did. That in its own right is an infraction, let alone how it affected how the race was run.

Garcia did whatever he had to do in order to "cross and clear" on Moreno.

The fact that Shared Belief was one stall inside of him was coincidental, and he was bumped sideways as collateral damage.

Two one-way speed horses in the race, but Javier Castellano was not aggressive enough and Moreno was not quick enough. As soon as he was crossed and cleared he became odds-on to finish dead last...and Bayern's chances of winning obviously increased tremendously with a loose early lead.

In America, there's no in-race Exchange wagering. You're just supposed to "watch the beautiful spectacle and enjoy the pretty horses and colors"

In race exchange wagering is tricky business, we will never have in race exchange wagering. We should have exchange wagering though.

Imagine the odds you could have gotten on Texas Red in race while he was dead last on that speed favoring track.

I think Upstart ran really well in that race with a bad trip. I know thats not really the point, but I dont see anyone discussing the races anywhere else.

It didn't seem speed favoring the last few races. I thought it was fair for the Juvenile, although the cavalry charge for the lead helped Texas Red.

I'm not sure if that was sarcasm, but you meant to tell me that Moreno getting smacked silly to the point that Javier almost fell off didn't affect his chances of getting the lead? Bayern was no where near clear of either Shared Belief or Moreno to have crossed over in a safe manner.

He's not even remotely close to saying that.

If it was not sarcastic, the way his post read to me was that Moreno was not fast enough or ridden aggressive enough to lead. I don't see how one can deduce that because the image showed that Bayern was not in a position to clear him and the force he took to knock him sideways halted his forward momentum. Bayern would not have been able to clear him if Garcia didn't cause the chain reaction to have Moreno bulled over.

You seemingly understand his post, yet you don't.
