Inquiry... Had La Mure been able to finish at all, she might have a case for getting put up. We'll see.


PUT UP! I'll take it...!

I agree. It was the right decision.

It's one thing to make a judgement on a horse blowing by that wins by five or comes out very late, it's another thing entirely when a horse comes out and bumps another horse, in this case twice, when the other horse is looming outside, and then goes on to win by a couple lengths. If you don't take horses like the 4th winner down you are almost telling the jockeys they can commit fouls and take their chances they sufficiently intimidate their challengers.

The 6 was almost certainly going to win, and would have been a deserving winner, but that was a foul. We've all been taken down in much more marginal situations.

I'd submit that it's Contessa doing the burning..

As suggested in the race note, that was an 'either or/both' proposition, and it was more likely that the Contessa filly would be less ready than she was. I Promise needed to be on any expanded play or the most basic backups, and I'm sure she was.

Not bad at all, a 3/1 proposition on the exacta box was pretty kind in a race that looked like a match race on paper.
