LOL...Weren't the 1st words out of that stupid blonde's mouth "I'm always right" ...I missed seeing the race live, but I saw this other mess going on. I don't know which is worse. TVG giving those 4 a mic, or TVG having these commercials for Doc Bottom' s "A" spray.

Thanks for that link. Now I've got the name for my FFL team. I suppose the "A" spray comes in handy for those who can't find the time for a daily bath or shower.

So asinine to have chicks in sundresses asking those softball questions.

I too got screwed last night in the finale costing me the pick 4. Now what I would like to ask the stewards was how different was Friday nights finale vs. what Solis did at the top of the stretch in the feature today to Gomez and his mount. Nothing said or mentioned in the feature today, still pissed about that DQ last night.

just got home and watched the "grilling" of the stew on tvg...geez, he even seemed pretty wishy washy on the whole thing...it was a bad freaking call...they got caught up in the whole he started in the 9 path and ended up in the 3 path thing...but, while he was doing so the other horse was voluntarily doing the same thing.

I just watched the race in question, and I would agree it's one of the 2 worst DQ's I've ever seen. The other being Polished last week at Ellis.

He might of agreed to come in a couple 3 paths, but when he then tried to run straight, your horse bump (1:16)/herded (from1:17 on in) him the rest of the way. He deserved the chance to run straight. So, if you disagree, then don't bet there, or start your own pro-herding campaign. Like he said, they combine factors to make a decision. The margin of victory was small, and diminishing. They would of let the foul go if he had shown an increasing margin of victory. The margin of victory decreased during the foul, and he's saying the 2nd place horse should of been able to run straight. Your horse is refusing to change leads in the stretch. I think the 9 would probably have gotten up(if not fouled.) 2 out of the 3 of the stewards did too. 1 of the 3 agreed with you, and that was most likely because he/she thought the 9 floated out the 2 on the turn/into the stretch. Colonel Moldes came out a ton, but it's not until 1:03-1:04. What I wanted addressed last night was 1:01-1:04 on that turn (coming into the stretch.) See, your best case for staying up is back there at 1:01-1:02. Quinones is floating you out for no other reason than to cost you precious ground. That's also a form of herding. That's why your jock thought he could get away with herding in the stretch. There is some art to this stuff, and the bump at 1:16 is what the steward mentioned as key, because Quinones had indeed wanted to run straight there, and would have continued to run straight(if not for your horse bump herding him from 1:16 on in.) The way to stay up is to make the other horse think your coming over suddenly, but only actually come over slightly(Gomez' patented trick.) Then you make almost no contact, but you've caused a loss of momentum. Then you just do a slight intimidation herd, and voila(Gomez stays up.) M BAZE is not the gifted cheater that Gomez is. Some people are naturally good cheaters (Gomez, A.J. Pierzynski, Victorino etc.)

Pierzynski is a natural born POS.
