Indian Rush never checked. I didn't see a foul but thought they'd at least look at it.

Watch the head on. He stopped riding her, that kid probably doesn't know how to check. That being said I think its a terrible injustice that doesn't at least get looked at by the stews. After Prado came out in the 6s path, he proceeds to make the rail tight. Not reviewing that is not doing their job

I've seen the head-on. Prado's horse did not maintain a straight path but also didn't impede Indian Rush. That's not ground for disqualification. If they had looked at it they certainly would have dismissed it within seconds.

To me the disqualification is secondary. Although I think you can certainly make a very good case for Prado to be DQ'd. Im more angry with the stews not putting up an inquiry. Throwing it back on a bug to lodge an objection on Prado.

I disagree he didn't impede

I've watched the head on three times now. There should have been an inquiry, I agree with that. But the horse was never impeded IMO. Looked like race riding to me. Maybe if there was some grandstanding they would have looked at it, but to my eyes there was nothing worthy of a takedown.

But, as bettors do we really want horses taken down because of grandstanding? I know I don't.

How do you know they didn't look at it? They may well have,and decided it wasn't even worth an inquiry,or the time of day.These ain't SoCal stewards,who take you down for even thinking about changing lanes.
