I guess they have some. 100% the right call

I disagree. If you think that horse should be taken down you have salt from not taking him. WOW didn\'t even claim the objection.....incredible.

[ChiTownJoe]

If that was a Baffert, inquiry lasts 2 minutes and result stands.

I think Jason Servis is a huge cheat, do believe that had something to do with change.

That DQ would have taken 45 seconds at any track in America, any night in America other than tonight.

Clear and obvious foul that stopped the momentum of two horses.

[Tavasco]

Karma, politics or both.

[dcost328]

but to take him down and put up a horse that was clearly beat? Country House ran his eyeballs out but he wasn\'t the best horse in the race at all.

[Chas04]

He beat a cheating pos.

Maybe you have salt from getting DQ\'d.

That is a DQ in less than 2 minutes any other day of the week at any track. He came over 2 paths into the #1 and almost caused the biggest catastrophe in Derby history

[Bet Twice]

No way they are taking in to account things like that in that situation.  The whole world is watching you make the decision, you are going to make the call based on the rules and your professional judgement and nothing else.

[dcost328]

But no objection from WOW at all. Comical.

[TGJB]

I don\'t think they singled him out, but if you think they would make that call against Sheikh Mohammed or Claiborne you have more faith in humanity than I do.

[ChiTownJoe]

Both, Jason Servis -- Firenze Fire running off the screen last BELMONT day -- Karma.

No way the bluebloods of Kentucky wanted a 16K MCL winning the Kentucky Derby.

Horse didn\'t deserve to come down, Saez floated WOW out and WOW was at his neck 3-4 jumps later. Checked/steadied every so slightly, and the 20 or 13 would have won if good enough.

Did he technically cause an infraction, yes, but didn\'t think it warranted a DQ in the KD...bad call

[TGJB]

I would like to know what the exact wording of the rule is, it matters. The wording in California (which is ridiculous and I think still in effect) is why Bayern stayed up, and would have kept this one up as well.

Comical is you thinking that wasn\'t a big deal
