Well, that's an interesting analysis--as far as it goes. But what about "jockey mike smith appears to drop a item after the race while next to the outride pony on the back streach?!"

Oh please, they do this crap everytime the public is fooled!

If the public and "experts" are fooled, somebody must have cheated! Because "We Experts are The Experts and this shouldn't have happened! Hardy Har har har Blah Blah blah"


I would also say the new Churchill Downs "6-hour detention" on horses prior to the race, and increased doping tests lead to ALOT of Upsets in the other races Saturday.

All of Todd Pletcher's horses took a complete dump in the Graded Stakes races, because those were the races they were "Supertesting" for.

The one race they didn't test for (a non-graded race), Pletcher's horse won.
