Yesterday I took a shot to beat Jonathon Wong’s “Fascinate†with “Saint I’veâ€. Horse was 7-1 and the trainer had nice numbers 1st out. In the stretch Fascinate had a short lead while running wide. Saint Ives started drifting out and made what I Thought was a minor bump which did not hinder the momentum of Fascinate. The two horses battled down the stretch and St Ives won by a head bob. I will add that they were both 7 lengths ahead of the field. I’ve seen horses drift out 2 or three paths and force other horses wide regularly in these maiden races with no DQ’s. If anyone watched the race can I have an opinion as I realize I’m biased. My point is that there was minimal contact which had no bearing on the outcome of the race.
I am not very opinionated, but as the president of the Bay Area Chapter (recently moved to the So Cal desert, but still remain in my role), here\'s what I saw.
It\'s a DQ. This wasn\'t a force a hose wide move. Came out and bumped his hind knocking him off stride.
Thanks P-Dub!!

Ah, not very opinionated? lmao mmm... if you have an opinion, you just might be opinionated.

Moved last October.
My wife had been wanting to move for a few years, but I loved my job (if you could call it one) and made good money. I always shut that down plus I\'ve lived there my entire life.
Things changed March 2020 when everything shut down.
My job was never going to be the same and when it did come back not close to the same money.
We sold our house, moved to Palm Springs area and have never looked back. We love it down here.
