There was zero urging and outright restraint by several jockeys as their mounts tugged them to the lead in the final furling. Lo and behold they were all caught at the wire. Even though I cashed on the race, I still recognized the race was a farce.

I don't care what anyone says, this has to be considered a late nominee in the "Redboard of the Year" category. That is creativity at its finest.
