Rich,
One thing that is clear in this thread is that u are WRONG.
Silly statement to say not even close to a DQ.
Watched the head on a couple times, out of curiousity after reading this thread (had no bet)
The winner and second place horse were 4w and 3w entering the stretch. The winner leaned in for most of the stretch causing them to move to 2w and 1w. Then mildly bumped the winner twice in the last 100 yards.
I am not saying it was an auto DQ. I would have called it 60/40, leaning to the DQ only because margin of victory was so narrow, hard to believe the infraction didn't affect the outcome.
But it surely was a close call. Saying that in a thread where the author is clearly on "tilt" is not just wrong, it is poor form.
