Turf Sprint — (1) Insane Bad Beat — (2) PED Analysis

1) please watch replay of this race and tell me how 4th place horse doesn’t get taken down and placed 8th? Horse blantantly slams the 8th place horse who promptly falls back and then rallies again somewhat. Connections have no incentive to make claim because no difference in purse money. Stewards should have been on alert for superfecta bettors.  No question horse comes down if claim of foul. Why no Steward protection of superfecta betting public?

2)  Not all Servis horses alike. The 8 year old ran like an 8 year old. The 3yo was probably a superb horse before he met Servis. Interesting study was Vision Perfect who was a reasonable but not flashy horse for trainer Donk. On switch to Servis barn, horse definitely benefited From something that Donk was not giving him. It would appear that magic did not survive the drug protocol. This showed you cannot paint all horses with one brush.  No offense to seminar, but not all Servis horses are alike.

 By the way, are 5th place connections allowed to make claim against 4th place horse using 8th place horse’s foul? If I owned 5th place horse, I lost 4th money because 8th place horse has no motivation to move up to 7th.
