The stewards never posted the inquiry sign so that they could at least investigate the incident. What were they thinking? Risky Weather, who just missed getting up for second, was obviously bothered in that he steadied and shifted out on the turn to avoid the bucket on the course. It appears on the replay that two other horses were bothered. According to the DRF article on the incident, one of the stewards said that if a majority of the field (4) had been affected rather than only 3, the race would have been declared a no contest. Go figure.
