Bing Crosby, Foul is a Foul?

I thought the post above with the following comment explained it:

Stewards George Slender, Scott Chaney and Grant Baker studied films of the incident for several minutes before ruling there would be no change.

"In our opinion, the tapes could not verify that the horse was actually hit," said Slender of the unanimous ruling.

I guess they missed it then. I would need a closer look also. They also stated that it had to be a willful smack?

you are most likly right. It's not what you know it's who you know. I lost some money on the race. Bummer.

for all of you with calracing (free) accounts...check it out....make your own decisions but I think it's pretty clear...

three stewards...I don't know...something is fishy...

I didn't have a penny invested either

A total scam. Last year, the del mar stewards were taking everyone down and now they cant even get an obvious infraction in a stake race right.

There is nothing to even discuss here. The horse should have come down.

It looked to me like he didn't actually make contact with the horse, but Bordonaro flinched at the prospect of being hit in the face.

Mine eyes have seen stranger things though.

Has anyone actually seen the whip make contact with Bordonaro?

If so, send me a picture or a link or something. I never saw it hit him.

No money invested in the race, so I was fairly impartial.

Same here. He backed off but I certainly cant see the whip hit his face.

Let me get this straight. They had a chance to take my horse down and they didn't?

I'll have to mark this down on my calendar
