Can the people in New York please talk to the people out here in California and explain to them how they are able to put their stake races on big days back to back to back and not break up the big races with a $16K claimer and another claimer dressed up as an allowance race. Would be great!

Smith came out on the turn (he and Baffert, of course, pretending he didn't.) My favorite part is Baffert thinking his horse could get away with coming out late (because of what happened on the turn.) Like anything goes, after that.

So true.
Very rarely do you see them take a hoss down for having the nerve to outrun a competitor down the stretch who dropped right over on him on the turn. Those stewards are the worst to ever lace em up. They should be drowned in the infield.

Probably not even in the top 1000 of bad DQs. I wouldn't have taken him down but it wasn't outrageous. The "he was never going by" excuse is utter BS.

He’s clearly sticking up for his man crush Baffert. Lol .. and the other guy agreeing with him makes me CERTAIN now the right call was made haha

Personally, I think it was the right call considering the margin of victory. Head OB has Bafferts horse coming out, what, 2 paths??
