I have a few issues with this entire episode. I was disappointed with the commentators contribution to the conversation during the telecast as to the process in a call like this. Jerry Bailey and Randy Moss kept referring to their observation that Prat had no business claiming foul as he was hardly bothered. I don't disagree that he was hardly bothered, but the 7 nearly dropped the 1. They know better and did nothing but foment opposition to the correct call. I also take issue with the fact that that the stewards didn't call for an inquiry on their own. Imagine today's press coverage if the 1 was dropped and the result of that looked like the last lap at Daytona. If not for an extremely athletic WOW and a tremendous reaction in the saddle by TG this could have been a disaster with multiple horses going down in the stretch on the most watched racing day of the year. On top of all the crap that Stronach brought down on themselves earlier this year. This is a great game, with majestic animals, and we seem intent on f——it up. The idea of banning race day Lasix just a further unnecessary trap laid for the sport. I also have a problem with footage that was attributed to the telecast today that clearly shows MS coming out about four paths that they didn't bother to show yesterday. https://twitter.com/i/status/1125028240144457730. I have no idea why this specific clip wasn't shown yesterday.

Also here is a still pic of WOW clipping heels (pasterns) with MS coming out. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D5xaEnrU0AAVdyX.jpg I may be completely wrong about this but WOW looked loaded prior to the contact. I can't prove I'm right and nobody can prove otherwise. I know one thing for sure, if he we re it wouldn't have done me any good so I ain't got no dog in this fight. Truth.... MS came out about four paths and interfered with multiple horses, comes down any day of the week and twice on Sunday. To suggest it shouldn't happen on our biggest stage is blasphemous. Anyway, that is my two cents.
