I am NOT a fan of the 8th race DQ at Belmont. Had a nice win wager on the 6. Didn't think the 7 was going by. Life goes on but ...

I think the stewards need to get a bit more consistent. There have been at least 2 cases in the BEL meet where a jockey has purposely steered his mount steadily outward during the stretch run, forcing a competitor out and costing the latter the race. If you're gonna DQ when a horse comes out suddenly in the path of another, or if a horse doesn't keep an absolute straight path in the lane (as was the case with the bug that got taken down from 2nd in that turf race) then you need to take the cases above down as well.

This isn't the NBA. It's not about flopping

tough break on the 6, it's a bad feeling when you have a horse at a price and the objection/inquiry sign lights up.

I agree with you.

After watching the head on, I respectfully disagree. This coming from someone who was rooting the 6 home for my DD.

I didnt have the 6 in race 8 as part of my pick 4. I did have the 7 so my opinion might be a little biased. But I think they 6 bumped the 7 hard enough to cause the 7 to switch leads. The 7 was closing a little and looked as if he was going to go on by the 6. But, I agree that the Stewards need to be a little more consistant.

Under intense right handed whipping---on a horse who was simply never going to lose that lead late---coming out of a slow early-very fast late run grass race---he came out and brushed with Prado about five yards before the wire.

IMO, the call was nothing short of disgraceful....but hey, I'm only trying to be objective...as I did need the 6 pretty bad as well.

The 9 horse in the second race wiped out just about everything to his inside in race #2...and stayed up...but hey, that foul happened at a stage of the race where trouble is actually signficant.

I've seen worse incidents where the horse didn't come down.. I'm surprised the #6 was DQ'd... and this from someone who had the 7 and not the 6 at all.

I know we have the 6 in this for the PICK 4 but with these odds do u have any suggestions for ex-tri?
