Dover race 6

[Harness racer]

50k final and the favorite is on cruise control until about 200 yards before the line.  He is clearly in pain and can’t get off that left front fast enough, coming to a gallop just before the wire with a horse within 2-3 lengths.  Does anyone think there should’ve been an inquiry?  Should the driver have grabbed into him or pulled him up?  Connections seem like nice enough people, hope the horse is ok.  Didn’t look great at the wire.

I was going to a thread on this

horse looked sore in the warm ups

hard used... wins in 52 and change--clearly galloped across the wire in the final 25 yards

Dover rarely DQs anything--if she was lapped on there probably would have been one

agree they should have flashed the inquiry sign
