Was it a DQ in the CCA ? it was Iffy. But there were 147 clear DQ's since Jan 1 they let slide. Shame on them. One call can not make them right. Boo.

Trying to upright their upside-down turnip truck at Saratoga is the most stupid thing the stewards could do. They are going to alienate the racing public who are used (right or wrong) to how they do (and not do) things. BEL and AQU are the places to make corrections, not SAR. Clear out the problems before SAR.

Somebody is going to get hurt really bad or worse out there. Raj has got 6 months in rehab and probably will lose most of a year. Reuben gets 7 days. What is fair about that ?

I got taken down for a $20 Ex myself and after my initial typical whining tantrum I have calmed down. If stewards are trying to make a statement that going forward this nonsense will no longer be allowed then these 2 Graded races early in the meet are the perfect place to make that stand. The owners, trainers and jockey's of the horses that were taken down lost significant money because of the take down. Others are now on notice that these tactics will now be punished and significant purse money will be lost. Kudos to the stewarts if this is the case.
