just a question

if in the 7th race yesterday the swerving about of the DQ winner bothered the horse they put up ,then why didn't the third place finisher be put up also ...why because every time the eventual winner was bothered so wasn't the other horse as well.......just a question

That surprised me too. Looking at the head on, See N Win was forced out several lanes after Impressive Lady was fouled. Why she wasn't at least included in the inquiry I couldn't figure out.

Santiago Reyes needs to learn to keep his mounts straight. This isn't the first time, & I'm sure he's becoming a familar face in the Steward's office. Still play a horse he's riding, but I still have this uneasy feeling until the official sign flashes. :roll:

This is a redboard, but I had mixed feelings about the dq - I had a $1 exacta straight 2-4 and $2 win on the 4. It prolly cost me a little, but don't complain - right?

I do think the 5 lost ground also.

Really? Never? You're 100% positive Empressive Lady would have still lost had the horse on the lead not swerved right?

my view is very simple ....too much has been made of the term race riding ....it is the standard now ...it is somehow considered good riding ...I say it is very simple ...run in a straight line ...no croosing over on turns ....no drifting coming into the lane ..and may the best horse win .....it is so refeshing to watch woodbine racing ...for the most aprt they run straight in the lane ...and never cut turns ...they know the rules and abide by them....but once again not trying to start an argument but that is just my opinion
