Load of crap. The object is winning. Blocking is not only part of horse racing but in NASCAR as well. Whine all you want, your problem is explaining how a dead last horse Gronkowski smoked the rest of the field to take 2nd place? Everyone else is just whining! If it wasn’t for that horse, you might have an argument.
If the jockey touched justify with the crop I never saw it. I saw him wave it but not touch the horse. He might have done different if he’d realized how fast Gronkowiski was closing. Wished I’d had fifty on that horse to place.
