He damned near caused a disaster....
don't know why but he swerved and cut off at least two horses and then when he tried to go back to the rail he cut off a third... all three of the horses cut off might have been able to make a run at him but we will never know.
one of the horses he cut off actually had his forelegs running between Maximum Securitys hind legs and had they hit there could have been a collosal wreck killing horses and jockeys...remember these were the front runners with a pack of a large and crowed field behind them.
it does not matter who called foul...and several did...not just the horse who was not fouled.
and it was a foul....this is not nascar rules....rubbing ain't racing
the rules call for the disqualified horse to be removed and the other results moved up which is what happened...
the jockey knew there had been a screw up...you could see it in his face....question is did the horse do it or did the jockey do it...
Best explanation I've heard thus far. Thank you.
TT, that is an excellent explanation. The same explanation was provided Saturday evening broadcast out of Channel 18 Lexington with revealing reruns from various angles.
The question is was it deliberately caused by the jockey?
I think it definitely was.
