The folks who made the decision know far more about the rules of horse racing than Trump does. He should leave such things to the experts and stay out of it.
I call it what it is.
I’m not a NeverTrumper, but I am no EverTrumper as so many here slavishly are.
Exactly.
Please don’t listen to all these ignoramuses.
As soon as it went official, the placings of all were posted. MS was placed 17th, BEHIND THE PLACINGS OF THE HORSES HE SCREWED UP, which included the 16th-place horse, Long Range Toddy.
He is not last, he is not DNF (did not finish) or “not given credit for running” as some other ignoramus stated here. DQ horses are places behind whichever other horses they interfered with.
In the old days...and I mean old....DQ meant the horse was simply placed last. That stopped some time ago, like more than a century.
MS officially placed in front of 2 other horses.
"Without rules, we might as well all be up in a tree, flinging our crap at each other." - Red Foreman. - And I agree...it was pretty obvious. It was a rule violation. Was it intentional? Doesn't matter. Apparently, many Freepers are selective (which we have seen on many occasions) and think the President is always right and rules apply only SOME of the time...when we want them to. That makes us hypocrites.
How liberal of you. Enjoy your world.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s really Trump doing the tweets. Is someone wording and getting his approval? He half-ass looks at and says okay?
