In which case, California Chrome would have been declared the winner...and then the conspiracy theorists would really have come out of the woodwork.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-91930850974322056162014-11-04T17:27:57.292-05:002014-11-04T17:27:57.292-05:00I think it is understood that horses will not alwa...I think it is understood that horses will not always break straight and that you can't disqualify everybody but I think that it is also understood that a jockey's first responsibility after the break is to straighten his horse. I didn't think Garcia did that and I think Bayern should have came down also Toast Of New York should have came down. One other thought I would sure like to see Shared Belief try Turf.

TONY could have come down as well an doesn't seem they stewards even looked at him, so Euro's have no right to complain.<br /><br />Chrome ran great.Figlessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-78630194164712427662014-11-03T14:02:33.477-05:002014-11-03T14:02:33.477-05:00Agree with you.

On the HRTV feed The Mig even says that after the horse broke inward Garcia decided he might as well keep going. <br />If Moreno is allowed to break, no chance Bayern wins. ljkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15345829432231688681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-66837764821305122412014-11-03T13:18:25.604-05:002014-11-03T13:18:25.604-05:00I do think that Bayern was very lucky that his tra...I do think that Bayern was very lucky that his trainer is based in California and Toast of New York's was foreign.El Angelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145024095815950963noreply@blogger.com
