I haven't posted my opinion until now as I have been monitoring the talk-back programs and reviewed this race innumerable times on video.
I have now come to the opinion/conclusion that the steward's have set a very dangerous precedent with their determination in this race.
How can they say that Takeover Target took the running of the second place-getter and eventual winner, Honor In War?
As I review literally hundreds of races per week I see similar instances a number of times and nothing happens from the officials.
One radio talk-back contributor stated that there was plenty of room for Bowman to take his mount to the inside near the fence....and I agree!
Therefore how did the events of this race differ from any number of similar instances which we all witness during the racing year?
Anyone have any comments on this matter?

Cheers.
