Phil has a question:

Why did the inquiry sign flash for about 30 seconds and then disappear.

Are the Maryland stewards blind or was there a decision made to ignore the interference rules when the favourite wins to keep the new fans happy.

Did the stewards look at the first contact initiated by Rispoli as the horses were coming out of the corner.

If that was a Baffert horse that bumped it’s way out of a hole created by its own jockey’s incompetence how fast would the stewards have yanked it down.

I don’t care what the newspapers say about me as long as they spell my name right.
