[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1576521, member: 14585"] Yes, it is not uncommon in lessor races with less experienced jockeys. Maybe 1 in 20 races a jockey lodges a complaint triggering a judges inquiry and a light comes on the tote board before the official results are posted telling all betters to hold their tickets. The judges review the tape and the ruling is usually completed in under 10 minutes. 1/2 the time the complaint is unfounded. Depending on the foul the offending horse is penalized distance and seems is most often disqualified, going into the official record as last place-dq. The Derby judges took 20 minutes to rule, which tells me they looked at it very closely to make certain they got it right and to enforce the correct ruling on the big stage. There are legal methods to impede the progress of other horses. IMO that was the offending jockey's intent, but he misjudged the speed and distance to do so. In effect 'Pilot Error'. It cost him a lot money, as jockeys are paid on a predetermined % of the purse their horse earns in each race. At smaller tracks, I prefer to bet the jockey. Because the best jockey usually has his pick of horses and races. He's going to choose each based on his judgment of which will provide the best chance of earning him the most money that day.
