Experts here, I need your help!
Please watch the head-on down the stretch of R1 at Mountaineer on 6/1/22, and explain to me how the
stayed up. I have watched thousands of races and cannot understand how a horse (the
) that loses by a diminishing half length or head isn't declared the winner after clearly being forced way wide by the winner in mid-lane. It seemed like a no-brainer to me. Maybe I'm not as smart as I think. I'd love to understand how I'm wrong to re-instill my confidence in the track and learn the game better.
It just seemed so obvious to me, both live and on the replay. Also, FYI, I had no money on the race. Was waiting out the rain to see the effect on the turf course.
