The excellent chart caller for NYRA did a good job of describing the events, pretty much echoing my observations.

Partial comment on Thunderbumms:
"coming close to, but not initiating any contact with HANGRY, began to drift outward once more a sixteenth down the road, bumped soundly with the unofficial winner before he could deliver a second left handed shot, backed away in the final stages."

I note he says bumped WITH and not BY the winner. I also note the 'drift outward one more' which I've already described.

The point is , the 1 insinuated himself into the path/proximity of the 8 at every opportunity, even though there was plenty of racetrack available, finally getting what he asked for.

I'd have left the winner up .
