Well, we have very different interpretations of the beginning of the Whirlaway...

In what way?

If you don't think Chavez was intentionally cut-off by Migliore after breaking a bit slow you're absolutely blind. I hope that isn't what you're talking about.

So, I assume you mean that Cohen was just riding for position when he gunned his mount inside, bumped with Chavez, and pinned him near the rail before the turn?

When they showed the camera angle at 4:51 into this link...

I thought there was zero chance of them doing anything ... but, the camera angle they kept showing from higher up after that looked worse.

On the angle at 4:51 I would have said there was no chance of a take down - at the later angle - I thought there was an 80 percent chance of one.

I would've taken him down. I realize there was no contact, but you shouldn't be able to drift over seven paths in deep stretch, win by a nose and stay up.

While I agree with your conclusion again if you read the rule, contact is never mentioned. If the race was a 10 claimer the winner would have been taken down in a heartbeat.

I know, I'm referring to what DrugS said about contact.
