EVD Patin Suspensions

* What's most remarkable about this event is that the Patin brothers didn't even give the worst trip in the race. Leshawn Conyers rode as if he ate an entire bag of mushrooms a few hours earlier. Conyers horse was grabbed hard early, after a quarter mile, he gradually drifted left until he bounced in the rail, after which he gradually steered his way out and threw his whip away, before blowing his irons in the stretch.

* The official fractions of the race are illogical.

24.66 -- 46.48 -- 1:14.20 would indicate that the horses ran a supersonic 21.81 second-quarter, before running the 3rd quarter in trotter fractions.

There's no shady about this, Evangeline Downs just struggles with their timer. It's probably the worst in all of horse racing.


Here's the video replay of this splendid event: http://www1.drf.com/displayVideo.do?...=D&country=USA

The head-on angle is much better. If Conyers rode an honest race, it rates as one of the worst trips I've ever seen, because he stole the show in a race where two others are suspended for stiffing.
