Hard to believe that the STEWARDS are supposed to have some level of expertise in evaluating the way races are run when they continue to overlook herding in the lane. Guess they're only interested when there's actual contact or jockeys feign contact. The game is really a joke when you allow a horse to drift out in the lane and impede the run of other horses.
Even harder to believe is that trainers and owners put up with this ****, when it takes money out of their pockets. The sad truth, however, is that they're probably clueless to these punk tactics. Unfortunately, the stewards are supposed to know better.
When you go from the 2 path to the 5 path for no other reason than to block the run of horses that are about to pass you, you need to come down.
