I saw it that way too - I'm not sure if that horse has a short burst and then starts struggling -

that was the race that was on my mind..when this thread was opened...couldnt figure which race it was last week....but that was blatant

Always an enquiry when the jock drops his hands close to the line, most of the time over confidence and nothing sinister BUT what about all the ones behind I see daily being given a easy? The stipes are to scared to open the can but I tell you, there is a big can of worms to be opened with some rides and not always the obvious ones, just saying!!!!!

i agree with you -

My opinion? The horse looked reluctant to change legs and seemed to be striding short on its near fore in the last 100m. Probably something amiss

to me again problem is with nhra. do they review every race?
