Shanahan,

I saw the race and saw 100 replays of the stretch run.  I can\'t imagine what you think the right call was.  I had no interest in the DQ/no DQ (was live to #4 and #5 in doubles), but they got it right.  The 4 came drifting off the rail, as the jockey continued to hit the horse left handed, causing further drifting.  He drifted into the 10, who got pushed wider and into the 9 and severl other horses.  The 4 had to come down from 4th.  Did you want the 10 taken down?  Completely not his fault.  The jockey from the 4 will get days, guaranteed.  You can\'t keep hitting the horse left-handed as he drifts out.  They are very lucky there was no accident.

And the 10 was much much the best.  The right call and the right result.

It was Mike Smith\'s fault.
