I love watching the ponies run.

That one owner sure didn't seem happy during the post race interview.
That horse was robbed, and I think the owner has a legit gripe. I'm not expert on the racing biz, but I've watched plenty of races to know when some of the jockeys decided to obstruct. I'm guessing the jockeys decided that Cal Chrome didn't have the pedigree for the triple crown, and decided to hold the racing line. It was a slow race, and from the middle of the back stretch, all the way to the exit of the 4th turn those three horse were within half length the whole way. Thoroughbreds aren't bred that way, the jockey has to hold them like that.
I'm sure I'll take some flak for it, but go watch the race again, and then tell me I'm wrong. I would have at least left it 'unofficial' until I could get each jockey in a room and have a little mano-a-mano time.
He got a cut on his leg coming out of the shoot, from was I heard on the radio.
The bitching by the owner after the race was classless, and brought disgrace to a legendary animal.
