Saturday was the first time i used NJ's new internet betting system. And not being familiar with the betting system which requires opening different windows for making different types of bets I manged to get closed out on the exacta box I was going to make on the turf race.
So, of course you know which two horses I was trying to put in. And then, of course, you might know why I was kind of hoping the winner would come down.
Which means I have a bit of a jaundiced few.
But, I thought BTN's take down foul was against Magestretti not Kittens Joy.
Kittens Joy I thought was race riding but from my perspective BTN definetely knocked Magestretti off stride.
Now the stewards decided that Magestretti wasn't going to win the race anyway, but Prado was claiming (and he said this on TV) that he thought the incident cost him third.
Talk about inconsistency from the stewards. There are some states where costing another horse purse position is, by regulation, automatic grounds for disqualification, and obviously there are some where it isn't.
