War of Will

Roman: Saez corrected immediately, did not cause any horse a better placing, was the best horse in the race, should of stayed up!

dcost328: Who claimed the objection? #20 or #1?

Did MS come out? Sure did. Was it corrected immediately and didn\'t impact the winners of the race? Sure was.

Did WOW claim an objection on what was \"such an obvious horrendous foul\"? Sure didn\'t.

Did Flavian Pratt take a shot and back his way into what should be an embarrassing win for all connected? Absolutely.

TGJB: We now know what YOUR rule is.

T Severini: Thought it was a bad reversal for a lot of reasons:

Clearly the best horse eliminated,

Tradition in a Rough and Tumble Race of needing a finishing order reversal to take a winner down,

Slop track likely affected outcome. Saez likely sloppy in what he told the steward

Red Outfit Woman in Stewards Booth likely ignored 1-3 above. (Though 2nd steward must have joined her)

Sleepy Bill Mott lobbying like a Petroleum Lobbyist on National T.V. needing a Derby \"Win\" and they seem to have obliged him.

Bad Bad reversal. Disqualified horse was mine and I won\'t say...but man.  Could do no wrong  today until that disqualification. Thought I fired off my pick, but don\'t see it here.

T Severini: He\'s spot on

That disqualified horse laid over these, especially when the track changed. He hoofed it pretty hot up there, clearly gave away lengths on the wide turn and gained them all back and then some.

He went off second choice and we\'ll see if he stays together.

Running for that low tag first race is puzzling.

xpfc: sekrah was right when after the Oaks he said \"the earth should open up and swallow the whole sport.\"

Furious Pete: I saw it T sev, nice pick, unlucky DQ.

The real bad beat this week is Omaha Beach I guess, I never fancied him and wouldn\'t have cashed any tickets on him, but now I think he would have bolted up this race.

T Severini: I think it got deleted due to not being involved in the run up this year.

Way too busy. But thanx.  Thought that horse laid over them. Looking forward to seeing the red board tomorrow.

FrankD.: Chuckles,

Good to see they let you out for Derby Day....

I was wondering when your yearly appearance would come.
Richie 🐝 was missing you.ðŸ˜"

T Severini: Theres some good folk here. Salute to you and Richie.

Just got extremely busy. Hot because that was a tough beat, I used Motts horses and liked Shug too.

Don\'t know how long that Servis, (Jason), horse is gonna stay together but he\'s a freak.

FrankD.: Tough take down if you bet the winner.
2 sides to every coin but I don’t see it in this race. When the jock/horse that was bothered doesn’t even claim. If it was that flagrant? Where was the immediate Stewards Inquiry?
May 04, 2019, 07:26:03 PM
dcost328: Exactly your points, Frank.

A flagrant foul is going to draw a stewards inquiry regardless, and it didn\'t.

A flagrant foul against you is going to draw an objection from the jock who was impeded against. It wasn\'t.

Those are facts.

I don\'t know how after these 2 facts, you take a look after an objection by a horse that was not even bothered and was handily beaten.

The only other side of the coin is people who have something against Servis or who took a stand against this horse completely and were just flat out wrong in thinking he couldn\'t get it done.
