US Stewards

Watched it again, came in under the right hand whip, corrected course as soon as he veered left, won going away in the end.

Shocking honestly.

The one from NY a few weeks back was even worse too.

Let's see what they do here in the last at Santa Anita, IMO the 2 should be DQ to 3rd making it 3-6-2

Can always trust the Californians to get it right

without seeing the scout it looked like the '2nd' lost back legs a little from a minor nudge. It's just a minefield out there.

Quiet unbelievable how they didn't DQ the 5 there race 9 Parx.

I would have laid the crap out of the winner on the line, but I guess you can't tell for certain from the pictures whether the blame lay with the 5 coming in and/or the 7 coming out on the bend.

Amazing how the 1 kept that at Aqueduct race2, if there was betting post race I'd have backed the runner up at 1/10

Perhaps not quite 1/10, but would have expected it to have been chucked. For the last 30 yards, if anything.

Parx race tonight, looked a cert to be chucked but stood, different day, different panel, different result.

ANOTHER SHOCKER: take a look at Horseshoe Indiana Race 8 from Monday evening where Fav Hard Ride Buy DQ after clear win. At the turn it had come from 5th place on outside to go past 3 horses inside - one of these behind the other two on the inside  tried to push out when the fav was already passing it [jock with whip in correct hand and not deviating in - yet loses the decision. At worst it was perfectly ok race riding [why should the fav have given way or travelled wider to allow the other to get out of its trapped position; at best the eventual winner's jockey was guilty of a dangerous manouevre, since it was behind the fav when trying to push out. Bummer as cost me my bank! I dont intend to back in US races again - just too risky with decisions like this that defy common sense

He was DQd for interfering with the 3 in the last 100 yards, nothing to do with the turn in.

it was a poor DQ he's gone a length plus up on the 3, but it may have cost the no.3 2nd place which is how US stewards act.

Fort Erie r5 16/7, how that no.5 doesn't get DQ'd is quite incredible

agree, thought they'd switch that round, 4 separate bumps up the straight. I've said it before it's what the stewards have got on their tickets.

One of the poorest decisions I have seen for a while.

Check out race 9 at Horseshoe Indianapolis last night to see one of the worst DQ's you'll ever see.

The 4 horse nearly got put over the rail by the odds-on fav (1) yet got chucked out. Tremendously brave ride by the 7lb claimer on the 4 horse, a disgraceful decision and no wonder US racing has such a bad reputation.

Ridiculous decision. It was the Fav that caused the interference.

Christ almighty that is shocking

Worst DQ I've seen out there in a long while.
