Has anybody seen the video? So far,I have not seen any good video of it at all.I've seen Willie do even more sloppy riding than Kent.So,if they don't show video,then I'll assume home cookin'.

common sense tells you that Desormeaux was interefered with. they should have taken down the winner and moved the best horse in the race up, Premium Tap.

Scuds,
They won't show a "head on" cause it happened on the turn. Kent went for the rail hole. When it wasn't there, he checked Premium Tap and almost fell.
What a way to waste a horse! Then he asked for a re-rally from almost a stop. Just very bad riding. 'NUF SAID. No need to whine Kentie boy.
Admit it Kentie...my trained chimp could spot a horse better.

the hole was there. he had his shoulders in it then was bumped by that winner as he closed it off. common sense tells one that nobody runs a horse into another horse from behind like that. it only makes sense there was a hole there when KD accelerated into it and then was intefered with.

Sumitas,
I usually agree with you. Just my two cents...races go forward. If KD thought he saw a hole and went for it, even though it wasn't there, no need to whine about it. He almost got himself and his horse killed.
Bad riding. He needs to ride forward, like all the others...and not think that because he's coming, others are looking back behind to give him something.
They're not looking there.

Hard to comment accurately here without a head on . Even on the pan it looked tight--bad judgement on Kent's part and raceriding from Martinez . BUT, at the sixteenths Kent was desparate to re rally after almost falling and being shuffled out of contention . Ball Four under Martinez definitely drifted out into PT's path . I do not believe the objection was frivilous, but I do believe Desormeaux left his brain elsewhere . I would love to see a head on.

Willie didnt do anything wrong. Kent made a stupid premature move. He could have waited like any good jockey would have done. No home cooking there.

that's bull****. you expect me to believe a jockey drives into a hole that isn't there ? the so called winner needed to keep a straight path and he did not.
