They should. Rather the technical cheater win than this bozo.

Pissed because this longshot has no shot a TC.

Best horse got DQ'd...so no Triple Crown this year.

agreed. i understand everything that just happened and why it all happened. but it still feels really dumb that the 20 wins the kentucky derby now when there was really no situation in which they were going to win.




Who knows? He had to move out a little bit. If War of Will stays connected, perhaps the 20 stays on his pocket too. Never know.

Like Country's team said, you don't want to win that way regardless.

Folks, what you are missing is why the rule is in place.

Jockeys get killed or maimed and horses get destroyed if you don't enforce the rules.

As to why this has not happened before, mostly the video and media has gotten so much better in the past few years with HD and such that it makes reviews that much better.

The call, while displeasing to the audience, is correct and it took real balls to make said call in such a high profile race.


More pussification

I find it hilarious that playoff hockey is being bumped by a horse race.

I’d say they were booing the results more. But it was the right decision by the rulebook.

Folks are boing the Governor as he is the least liked Governor in the history of the state.


Bankrupting teachers and government workers so his fund can bill 100 million in fees each year for his cronies.

If he "impeded" on a dry straight stretch of track I would agree.

On a sloppy track in a turn? That is just part of the game baw.

It's fricking stupid to reward an unaffected party. That's all I'm saying. Who knows where WoW ends up, but he certainly got fricked in all this.


Any time you bump a winner there’s a chance several unaffected will benefit.

I understand the call. I think it is a shame it happens. Would war of will won without it. Don’t know. But I know country home would not have. Not mad but won’t care anymore about the next 2. Would have been something if Omaha beach is able to run next race against maximum security. Would have been a big story line.

I did see a lot of hate for him on social media and plans to boo posted this morning.

This likely, for lack of better word, muddied the source of those boos though
