The blocking back
If this has already been discussed here, I apologize. Did anyone else have a problem with Geroux on the other Baffert in the Belmont? He basically ensured a slower pace while impacting horses such as tenfold and Bravazo and it appeared to be intentional.
In my opinion, it was shady at best especially when you consider the magnitude of the event. If the horse is good enough, why the tricks? |

Are you serious? Are you asserting there was a foul of some kind? If not, it is just racing.

Not a foul per se. It was obvious the 5 had a mission. It was just bush league in my opinion. If justify is best, why would he need such tactics?

If Justify's not best, they'll be able to catch him. Oh wait, they couldn't. Noble Indy couldn't go fast enough to get up there. He was welcome to try to get a better position and didn't manage it. Restoring Hope kept them from pulling a Smarty and the fair race was run.

I think Bravazo got forced to the rail where he didnt want to be, otherwise I think the whole thing is being blown out of proportion. That race was over when Justify broke alert and Javy didnt send with Noble. He was already a length back of Justify by the time Geroux did whatever the hell that was. If Flo wanted to run more significant interference, he couldve floated a few wide on the turn. I think this is a molehill being turned into a mountain. Gronk, Vino and even Bravazo all took a shot at him and just couldn't get him.

There were only real race horses in the race - they ran 1-2.
The rest, pathetic bunch of also-rans. They will win races in the future, when they stop chasing champions. |
