So he switched out, and not only did Serpa drift back out in front of him, but the horse outside of him drifted in. Finally, going back to the rail again, he had room, and Serpa continued to drift out many paths, nearly interfering with the winner, who just got past him before Serpa was in HIS path.

Interesting group of HACKS Tampa Bay has riding horses this meet.

In race 5, Jose A Garcia, breaking from post 3, made a left turn interfering with the 1 and 2 two steps out of the gate, then adjusted by turning right and interfered with EVERY OTHER HORSE in race moments later, including dumping Eddie Dominguez. Don't think I've ever seen that before.

I don't agree. Serpa's horse drifted in for sure, but Curatolo still had ample room to go through on the inside the first time and just panicked IMO.
