Santa Anita race 7

Can anyone comment.   I had the 5, and he gets DQ\'d for...?

He bumped the 10 but it looked insignificant? Otherwise there was nobody near him the rest of the race.

That\'s a Bad Beat! Odd?

Thanks...yes, a very tough beat in the pik 4.   Had the 10 also, but geez..

In California, the only thing the stewards are interested in is -- did a perceived infraction cost a horse a placing. I don\'t think the 10 (Danderek) lost a placing but possibly the 6 (Botch) did. They dead heated. I had all 3 of them and the dead heat with the 2 horses returned exactly the same amount as if the initial winner prevailed so I am not biased. If Botch was a clear 2nd -- they may have left the winner alone. Always a shame when a clearly best horse is taken down.
