Stop being so modest.  You private messaged me just before the race with the EXACT order of finish of all 19 horses.

Incredible!  I am in awe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At Equibase they still haven\'t put the chart up. That tells you the craft going into this one.

We may not have to wait for that to happen, the way things are going.

[JR]

So you believe War of Will’s chances of a better placing were not compromised?

[dcost328]

That question only needs be asked of Tyler Gaffalione, and he already answered it resoundingly.

[JR]

And now it’s off to Pimlico, or at least half of it. Perfect flower for that race. Black-eyed Susans.

[JR]

I didn’t hear what he said. What did he say?

[dcost328]

That\'s the point.

[sekrah]

He\'s 24 years old in his second Derby.  The kid shit his pants.  It happens.

[Roman]

What is the rule, any statement from the stewards yet?
If floating out a couple of paths is an infraction, why wasn’t Scrappy T disqualified in the Preakness, he kept his second place placing.

[JR]

That wasn’t floating a horse wide. The was impeding a horse.

Because Afleet Alex won, no placing was affected by it. If Afleet Alex would have went down, Scrappy T would have been DQ\'d.

When the review took as long as it did without an inquiry and the two \"Most\" inmpacted horses clearly not having their placing affected...you knew the explanation was going to be crafted.  Its gonna be a beaut.

But he impeded the horse, should of been placed last according to this ruling.
Need more uniformity.
Bayern, Maximum Security, racing’s biggest stage.
Should not have to be this difficult of a subject.
The slo motion replay I think makes it worse than it was.

[sekrah]

Umm.. Long Range Toddy lost all kinds of placing from this. Did you watch something else?
