Nevertheless hard working handicappers would have had another shot at a multimillion dollar carryover.It also took the stewards 9 minutes to make a decision. must of been doing some calculating.

I agree with this.I have no particular reason to care (one way or the other,)but I know the horse would have stayed up with different odds and/or connections.I am o.k. with this being called a foul,but if so,then they need to do it for everybody,and they do not do that.The best horse was the original winner,and when it is obvious who the best horse was,they usually keep that horse up.Not in this case.They are inconsistent.
