This thread is dumb as shit, you call yourselves horsemen, and experienced owners.
They're not a bunch of inbred hicks in Delaware. They named the order of finish and it didn't go official for several minutes after that i.e. they watched.
Fucking steppy 5 lengths before the wire, weird steps, and then solidly breaks across the line, and no one lapped on.
The end.
I am neither a horseman or an experienced owner...just an old guy who has watched a lot of races
I don't think this is a dumb thread...there was no way it was close to a DQ if that is what you are referring to
filly was steppy in the warm up and half the length of the stretch--then clearly broke stride and ran the 25 yards(is what I saw)
of course she wasn't lapped on and it wasn't close to a DQ--but the question asked is "should they have flashed the inquiry sign"--the answer is yes and they did not--and I will agree it took a bit longer than usual to make it official
if that slight delay is interpreted as "looking at it"..that's ok with me--then the inquiry sign should have been flashed--showing everyone that they indeed did look at it--instead they delayed the official sign for a minute or two, leaving it ambiguous as to whether they actually looked at it
compared to most of the threads we see here--this was a legit one
