Last race at Saratoga 8/6

yes this deserves a thread. I thought for sure the 6 was going down and I was telling my dad I feel sorry for the poor guy who had this for 86k. I think with the 13 not making a dramatic move making it seem it was clearly interfered, affected their decision. Had the head on showed the 13 check or had the jockey made some exaggerated move they take the 6 down.

I dont get the call? I am not remotely qualified to be a steward so I do not really know the specifics of law but to me it was an easy take down

Looked like an obvious foul in the head on...worst was very close to the wire however.

me too, I am just thinking about the justification to hold up the result. Imagine a triple carryover for tomorrow where the pool could of easily hit 3-4 million dollars. Maybe the stewards were alive to the 6

Good no call. Our friends point and pmac hit a nice pick 4 on the 6

Very hard for me to play steward since I really am not qualified. The problem with us hacks is we really don't the rulebook all we know is what we see which may nor maynot be significant.

Easily justified no call there IMO. 13 came in on the 6 as well, 12 came in a bit. 13 wasn't beating the 6 if they ran around the track again. Both horses came in on each other.
