Right.

Because every horse that lost the Preakness, after winning the Derby, has been exposed as frauds.

[john9969]

that wasn\'t my point but I forget a bunch of derby winners if they don\'t follow it up...i attend the Preakness and my comment was more pointed to hopefully having a full field there.....as the Derby \"winner\" is certainly suspect....and suspect isn\'t in quotes even though that is how the derby winner won.

Tradition. Tradition. Tradition. Look what affect it had on the party down there. It was embarrassing.

[JR]

Amen.

MS bore out several paths on the turn impeding WOW and LRT, was pulled back down to the inside where he lightly brushed with COH who was rallying up the now open rail, then gathered himself and rebroke, finishing gamely to the wire.

WOW baking up? Watch it again. Watch the jockey. He stands up. WOW lost all kinds of momentum in that incident. Who knows how he would have finished if not impeded.

I think MS wins by 4 or more if he didn’t duck out on the turn.

[JR]

You have no idea what would have happened had the incident not occurred. All we will ever know is that it did and the horse got DQd.

[JR]

That’s a nice thought.

Didn\'t cost any horse a better placing?  What were you watching?  The 2 horses between War Of Will and Country House both stumbled badly and almost fell and immediately dropped out of being on the lead to being well back in a very short time.  MaxSec was placed, not behind War Of Will, but 17th, behind Toddy, the worst finisher of the 3 horses he fouled.

Congratulations on your assessment. Unfortunately that doesn\'t change the fact that MS obvious foul cost 3 horses multiple placings.

These rules exist for reasons and one of the main ones to protect jockeys and horses from falls that would damage the sport.

100% correct decision

This forum looks like a thorograph sheet. How do we play this one? ... trying to find humor after a heart breaking defeat.
