Message: [QUOTE="br801, post: 3011517, member: 932"] You generally have to do something quite egregious to be taken down in Kentucky (compared to other jurisdictions) and something blatantly obvious to be taken down in a stakes race there. This was clearly a foul (the horse appeared to be spooked by the crowd noise and veered out sharply, taking away the path of two other horses) and it was really quite fortunate that no horses and riders went down at that point in the race. The stewards made the right call here, although it wouldn't have surprised me if that had let the result stand. This had nothing to do with modern technology, as these sorts of camera angles have been available to stewards for 40 years. [/QUOTE]
