I just watched the replay and that indeed is maybe the worst DQ I have ever seen. How does Stewart Elliot (and why does he) claim foul against Lezcano on the 6? It was the horse to Lezcano's inside (I think the 11 and Marquez) who caused all the trouble. Will they also try to give Lezcano days for this phantom DQ? I wonder what the thought process (or lack of) of the stewards was in this situation, cause they blew this one big time.

The stewards in NJ have a major hard on for Lezcano. His agent is one of my best friends and he has told me some incredible stories of things they have said to him.

Is this agent the stepbrother to the cousins uncle's 3rd ex-wife next door neighbor that works in The White House??

At dinner tonight the topic of Allumeuse came up. She was the filly who was DQ'ed at SAR about 20 years ago in a complete error. She was literally no place near the incident and stewards lost their jobs over it.
That was the first thing I thought of last night when that filly came down.

Was the question ever posed to the stewards as to what their decision to take the horse down was based on?

I watched the editted replay several times. Elliot definately pulls his horse up but it is very difficult to see why. The only thing I can figure is the horses behind the winner were shorter odds and we all know how much the stewards love to move up favorites.
