They spent a lot of time on the replay review. I expect a lot of commentators will have things to say about the process of reviewing infractions of the rules.
Lotsa money involved too, as this 65-1 Longshot ended up the winner.
Hmm.
Go back to 1975. Diabolo practically knocked down the leading horse, Avatar, letting Foolish Pleasure get the victory.
Inquiries led nowhere.
Lost all interest in horse racing after that BS. There wasn’t much interest to begin with.
The upside is rating for the next two legs of the triple crown will be way down for NBC.
HE WAS JUST DISQUALIFIED......wow that sucks
It is the #metoo movement. Every jockey must be believed.

Yep, sounds like the VA win to make it to the final four.
Screw these people.

Was one of those race tracks, Suffolk Downs? - Tom
A very typically modern American result.
