Title: Monticello Race 4

Blind judges missed another DQ. The #1 should have been taken down, as he put in steps and caused trailing horses to scatter. Not even an inquiry.

I'm curious maybe you know. I have noticed lately in the charts a "rg" in some lines. I think that might be "rough gaited" but not sure. Do you have any idea as what that might be? Just noticed it about 2 months ago and seem to see it more often as time goes by.

It is rough gaited. They added 2 other abbreviations at the same time. DI stands for driver caused interference and OG stands for off gate.
