We had incompetence in the Saints playoff game by the refs with.the non call, & we have total incompetence by the stewards at Churchill for the derby........this will never change.
Why didn't Tyler Gafflione who rode the #1 claim a foul? Because he caused all the problems. If you watch the video shortly after it begins you will see the #1 try to force himself between the #18 and the forwardly running #7. In so doing he bumps the #8 forcing himself (#1) to briefly regather himself, run on and again force himself into a hole that wasn't there where he ran up the #7's ass. At that point and not until that point did the #7 veer out of his lane in reaction to the #1 running up his ass.
THe #1 with Tyler Gafflione up caused all the problems. That's why Tyler Gafflione never lodged an objection. HE CAUSED THE PROBLEMS IN THAT TURN. Not #7 Maximum Security.
It's all clear as day if you take the time to objectively look at that film. Those stewards should be fired immediately by the racing commission and I hope the Wests win their lawsuit because they had, not only a huge purse, or any part of it (placed 18th) taken away from them but also the chance to have a legitimate shot at the Triple Crown.
Add in the fact that those stewards should have gone to work that day knowing that precedent has it that with such a high stake and such a crowded field that NO HORSE SHOULD BE TAKEN DOWN unless something really crazy happens. THe talk about what could have happened has no standing. It's not relevant. Almosts simply don't count in most aspects of life or in horse racing. This race is expected to be rough and tumble. Officiate accordingly.
Maximum Security AND Servis AND the Wests got screwed. As did all racing fans who held winning tickets and who would have loved a horse like Maximum Security to take a legit shot at the Triple Crown.
BAS has is right. The damned stewards do not.

The #7 never left his lane until the #1 ran up his ass when Gafflione tried to go where he had no room to go. The #1, who has already bumped the #18 just prior, caused the #7 to veer right out of his lane.
Now, let's assume you're right and the #1 was the horse who was bothered. Don't forget that Gafflione on the #1 never claimed an objection. Do you think the stewards should have bothered to interview him in the 21 minutes it took them to make the decision if he's the rider of the horse they claim was fouled?
And how does the unaggrieved #20 get to lodge the objection? I've never heard of that and I'm a seasoned horse player.
Now factor in 145 years of the stewards never before allowing a foul claim and you clearly get the picture that IN THIS RACE they clearly let them ride to win, and ride rough.
BOTCH JOB.
