I don\'t post often but need to vent.  I had a good bet on the 2 at 22-1, wins the race in photo and is almost in the winners circle when inquiry comes up (the horse he nosed was Ramsey\'s) after a long look they switch the order.  If anyone saw this race or the replay (especially head-on) it was nothing but robbery - I like to think this game is pretty straight (besides the doping) but sometimes I wonder.  Thanks for listening.

I saw the race and saw the head on. A ridiculous take down.

First of all - nice pick. Second, I don\'t think your jockey should ever have left the rail path open at the end of the turn top of the stretch. Fail on him.

However what really caught my attention in watching the replay on Twinspires, was when the gate opened the #2 horse was @ 13/1 and before they had run 2 furlongs you went up to 22/1. Concurrently the #1 dropped from 3/1 to 2/1.

Throw in the Ramsey\'s along with some stewards misc prejudices and clearly one has a conspiracy. (or Not)

Bad beat. Ouch.

Wow that was a bad call..sorry about the tough beat.

I recall the race as well and agree that it was a bad take down.
