Today's incedent was Johnny V's fault. He reached down to adjust his stirrup and then reached over and held onto the bar on the side of the gate. The gate opened and he was holding the bar. The gateman let go of the horse, JV was holding onto the gate. IMO since the mishap was the fault of the rider NOT the starter, he should not have been declared a non starter. Can you tell I had Stonewood at 5-1 and got paid 7.20?
