Best Pal Inquiry

[eajinabi]

Are the Stewards serious about this???

If they are to take Kelley Leak down then Azul Leon should be taken down as well. I agree Kelley Leak drifted but he did not touch anyone. Azul Leon did a hack job on Charlies Moment. Horrible call by the stewards

No freken way...very bad call..

I bet Hardy's Horse...another less than good ride by CN..3 wide on the front the whole way..amazing the horse lasted for 3rd err 2nd I guess.

That was a bad call I agree, Kelly Leak got screwed. I think Bejarano on Azul Leon saw a hole opening and made the right move, I though maybe Charlie's Moment may have drifted out as Azul Leon was trying to go through that hole, then had to check. Bottom line the #10 Kelly Leak should have stayed up, they made a bad call here.

Bejarano did not ride safe and could have gotten Jon Court injured. If he saw Kelleys Leak drift in, his best way was to pull up and go around but NO he wanted to win this at any cost and put Jon Court in jeopardy.

I didn't see the replay, but I thought Bejarano rode a pretty subpar race for a rider of his reputation. He had the best horse in the field, there was no need for it to go to the stewards if he had rode a half decent race.

No Bueno.

I was suprised the horse broke in last but Bejarano had plenty of horse top of the stretch. He was kinda blocked by the 10, then saw a hole open up and didn't wanna swing wider, and made a move to go through the hole. In the process the 8 drifts in a bit, Bejarano was agressive in trying to still get through there yeah, but I still say the 8 drifted in slightly before having to check. The way I saw it Bejarano to me made the right move in trying to go through the hole, but it closed quicker then perhaps he expected if anything, because the Court's horse drifted in a bit.

There was no fault by the 8 whatsoever. Most of it was done by Bejarano. He went through the opening in which he should not have.

I just viewed the replay, I thought it was a very questionable call. I'm not sure how the stewards determined the 10 was to blame when it could have easily be said Bejarano's horse caused the inside horse to take up...In addition it looked to me Ezpinoza may not have knew Bejarano went inside when he was hitting the horse right handed causing him to drift in abit; however I do think if Bejarano kept his horse on the outside he would have gotten up anyway, this despite going 8 wide on the turn. I wouldn't be happy if I was on the 10 and have to see a decision like that.
