It looks like good PR always comes first....
I'd hardly call that good PR. So much comes into question with racing, in my opinion this doesn't help.

Sorry for not making my opinion more clear. I was being sarcastic.

Her move definitely affected the running of the race....and she needs to come down. There should be no sentimentality when so much is riding on the outcome.

there wasn't even an inquiry, only an objection. I would love to here the audio of the stewards.

But sadly, I think you are right. A less accomplished horse probably comes down.

So with no NBA this year, horse racing has to pick up the slack?

What?? There's no NBA? Guess I quit watching when dribbling became optional.

I hope that a couple of friends at work who I finally got somewhat interested in the sport weren't watching that race. First question Monday will be " Why didn't they take that horse down?". Jesus, these are poker/football bettors and they will be turned off by sh*t like that real quick.
Just be consistant....if Jerry Rice caused obvious pass interferance, he would be called for it. PR works both way.
