One horse's nose was in front of the other. Which horse is not clear.

There was a horse with a nose past the wire so I wonder why they don't have a photo showing a horse who's nose is on the wire while the other horse's nose hasn't reached the wire.

The steward, Albert something explained that while the winner did bother the 3rd place horse he did not cost him a placing...

and he said it with a straight face.


I've had horses than didn't interfere with anyone didn't cost anyone a placing and were taken down simply because they were long shots.

This one is a headscratcher, here's the photo. I saw the race live on TV Thurs night, and thought Gooch #2 had won being familar with the Hollywood camera placement at the wire, Vic called it Gooch at the wire also, I don't see how the 6 Kbello won the race.
