Whether one agrees with the reasoning behind the steward's decision or not, yesterday's Classic start and first furlong resembled the beginning to the feature race at CD on the first Saturday in May, in just about every year. Don't recall much steward intervention in that situation over the years, nor much righteous indignation from handicappers over the lack of same.
Interestingly, the back view didn't look as outrageous as the head on - Bayern had partially cleared SB and came over, Moreno came out a bit and was ahead of SB as well. VE Day walked out. No horse appeared to have lost their action.
