watch the beginning of the race again. Flavien comes in from the 20 hole and impedes a horse far more than he was "compromised" by MS.
he threw a hail mary and it got caught.
the foul is a foul argument is stupid because these are STEWARDS and they take many different things into consideration.
if you want to start living by the foul is a foul standard you could probably DQ a horse in a whole lot more races than is the current rate.
how many times does a foul is a foul happen out of the gate or in the 1st turn with no objection?
Any of these stewards working during the Life At Ten debacle ?
If WOW claimed foul, this wouldn't be nearly of a joke as it is now.
There was no stewards inquiry. They have replays, there is no way if something major happened they aren't putting the inquiry sign up, period. And they didn't.
If a jockey claims foul you should be looking at his claim only, not oh hey maybe the horse impacted another jockey who DIDNT EVEN CLAIM FOUL. otherwise why don't you go back and dissect every single aspect of the race and start making other changes too?
can you imagine the backlash the NFL would get if someone challenged a catch but called a holding penalty on the lineman while they watched the review of the pass being made?
