Friday night HOL 7 DQ

I'm a seriously biased opinion on this one, but there was a DQ of the #4 in the 7th at HOL on Friday night. I can't objectively say it was deserved or not because I had singled the 4 in my P6 and cost me hitting, as I had the five others. Did anyone else who saw it see it as a worthy DQ?

Seemed justified to me. Bad idea by Bejarano to pound the horse righty just before it was surging to the lead.

Good acting job by Danny with a horse that wasn't going anywhere, if Gomez was on the 4 he would of been left up.

Yeah that's how I saw it, whoever the 4 brushed with was going no where and didn't really affect the running...ahh well...

Horrible decision, Sorrenson caused his own bad luck and if anything to me the outside horse caused more the the eventual winner.

Bejarano had the better horse. They usually give the top 2 jocks out there more rope than that. Me thinks they were possibly going after the cheater who trains the horse. I don't agree that Sorenson's horse was going nowhere. I just think it wasn't gunna beat Bejarano's. I'm a horizontal player. So, I want the horse who was best to be left up(if it appeared best.) We are talking about 60% of the purse. Should make an effort to give that to the best horse on the day. I can tell Danny's horse was gunna come in behind Bejarano's. That much I know. They usually do judge these things in the way I just described. They change that procedure based on who is involved. They often let Gomez and Bejarano cheat on the 2nd best horse, and leave them up(a lot.) I think this comes down to punishing a cheater trainer.
