Did the Russkies hack the Kentucky Derby

I'm back baby
For the first time ever, the winning horse was disqualified.

Did the Russian do it?

Should we have Robert Mueller investigate?
 
The problem with racing your horse in the U.S. is that you're at the mercy of individual state racing commissions' rules. I was fortunate with my horse who was run in CA, KY, NY and FL in undisputed finishes. He ran and won in Hong Kong as well where they follow international rules. Horse racing in the u.S. can be quite a nasty business behind the scenes. Happily I had an old school trainer who believed in hay, oats, water, massage & swimming therapy and acupuncture. NO DRUGS!

I watched the Derby. By international rules, there would have been absolutely no grounds for an objection. Sloppy track, horses skidding a little with minor contact and Maximum Security was already clearly cruising to a win. He did not impede the progress of any horse. The jocks weren't forced to pull up and those other horses remained on their "lead" footing as well from what I saw. Max was robbed.

If I was presented with definitive proof that Russia did indeed hack the DNC then I would of course believe it. I am stating that I have not seen such evidence. What I know is that the DNC refused to turn their servers over to the FBI.

You are asking me to take the democrat party's word for it. Since I don't trust leftists, I don't take their word for it.

Turn the servers over to the FBI for a proper investigation and let's see what they find.

The only post in the thread that actually had anything to do with the race.

Thanks for the analysis. I don't know shit about horse racing. Watch the Kentucky Derby every year. I looked at the race from a Nascar perspective in that "rubbing's racing". I never knew that horses had to stay in "their lanes". From my perspective, I don't think they did anything wrong. I just assumed that the horse that complained was transgendered and that was why they did what they did

LOL!!! No...that's one area that's still golden...not one cis-gendered filly in the field...all boys here.
Now there ARE times where obvious fouls occur. Horses might veer waaaaay out of the "lane"
either on their own (maybe got spooked or an injury occurred) or the jock might be
playing dirty. That's different. But, in this case, they were bunched up 4 wide coming out of the final turn
If a jock thinks he has a shot, he'll move up in there. None broke their stride. At the same time,
he (in this course they) has to be willing to accept the possibility of some minor contact.
The stewards' call was insane.
