The stewards will probably try to reason that all of the horses had 1 1/4 to position their horses in order to win if they were good enough. If so -- that is just lame. It may make sense if all horses had the exact same running styles but they do not. Bayern took away Moreno's only weapon (speed) and compromised the chances of 5 other horses especially V.E. and Shared Belief. All betting biases aside (and I won) the sport would have been better if the stewards took Bayern down.

I have been in love with this sport too long to drop out but, between Del Mar breakdowns, crooked trainers, and biased judges, I would be playing fantasy football or something like that instead.
