It's not in the Japanese nature to complain. I'm glad someone took the initiative to address this.
It was the Japanese first Derby and they didn’t want to cause trouble. There definitely was a push with the hand. The Japanese are polite. I wonder what they think of us Americans?
This should have been reviewed immediately before posting official results. No excuse. And no excuse for intentionally touching the adjacent horse. A clear rules violation!
Well they had the same STEWARDS that they had for Maximum Security & Tyler Gafleone was the rider????
There's a telephone right there when jock weighs after race goes to stewards,if there is blatant interference or impeding horse path,then if trainer doesn't tell jockey to object and jockey doesn't object then it's pretty much incidental contact then it's official,,, everything is video taped and reviewed immediately,,so reaching over and touching another horse or jockey is more serious than bumping a bit,,
INQUIRY,should have posted immediately!
@@user-qu3ql4jb4w well the same thing happened with Maximum Security with the same jockey & the same Head Steward... I guess Churchill Downs didn't need the money this time.. .
@@montanawarren8462 Saez was the rider on Maximum Security, which makes it even more relevant...because several at CD disliked him and he had a reputation for cutting jockeys off. So does Tyler. The difference is, Saez rode for Jason Servis on Max Security. He was racing enemy number 1 back then.
Why does an objection need to be filed for the Stewards to do their job?
Same Head Steward, same jockey, only Maximum Security got disqualified.... I guess I hit a blind spot with Sierra Leone and he was lugging in in the Bluegrass if you remember correctly
DAMN IF YOU DO AND DAMN IF YOU DON'T. WHEN THE STEWARDS DISQUALIFIED JOCKEY SAEZ FOR IMPEDING GAFFALIONE IN THE STRETCH (AND OTHERS) RIDING IN AND OUT LIKE A DRUNK COWBOY...THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎 SCREAMED IN ANGER. NOW GAFFALIONE AGAIN IS INVOLVED AND THIS TIME THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎 IS SCREAMING WHY THE STEWARDS DIDN'T TAKE ACTION...
Don't know the rules in the States but in Australia it doesn't, Stewards are at liberty to lodge objections.
Its bush leauge. Outdated! We have camreas! I still belive in needed a Jockys testimony but report my neighbor? In the hood we call it a rat! Japan its disanarable. South its the gentalmens way! So was shooting a man with a pistol!
The Japanese jockeys almost always never launch objections but 99% of times rely on stewards to objectively make the call ....I'm upset because it was the Japanese I had on top of my exotic bet
The head steward must have been MLB umpire Angel Hernandez.
LOL!!! It was the same stuff that called maximum security bruised balls to getting scratched him disqualified with the same jockey Tyler gasoline
😂 yup
@@montanawarren8462: It is possible that you have something significant to say about that incident. Unfortunately, your comment is unintelligible.
@@henryrodgers1752 well the more I review the matter the more pissed off I get...AT LEAST I'm glad I bet on the winner anyhow.... but I lost my money on the Maximum Security Derby due to the incompetence of this rider and the head steward
🤣🤣🤣👏🏽
I noticed that stuff. No Jokey complained which surprised me a lot.
Correct
Apparently, in Japan, it is considering losing face to lodge a complaint. I do not know how true that is but that is what the NBC broadcasters said after the race.
@@karmab4391 The jockey needs to respect all riders. I would disqualify because he had not.
@@karmab4391 we are to ride safe as can in a race that was not safe. I would disqualify him. as we need to teach good sports. respect to riders..
None of the people here seem to realize neither jockey had an interest to interfere with the other at that moment in the race. It would have slowed down both. They were both trying to make a beeline for the finish line but the horses had other things in mind. Horses do tend at times to run sideways. That said, I have noticed during the race the hand reaching for the other horse. However, the video does not clearly shows what happened, and the fact that no one filed a complaint, especially since Forever Young came behind Sierra Leone, indicate that nothing really happen in the end.
Forever Young should have been awarded second place on Saturday. I watched that entire stretch run a dozen times and Sierre Leone should have been DQ'd. Thank goodness that Forever Young is a tough customer or SR could have knocked him down. It was almost a replay of Broker's Tip and Head Play from a century ago. You never grab another jockey's saddlecloth.
FY's jockey had his crop in his left hand. Both were lugging in, SL leaning left, FY leaning right.
@@bordereau1 SL started the whole incident. That's the point and once a colt pushes another colt....bad things happen, especially when the SL's jockey grabs the other's saddlecloth. That is a No No!!
0:49 If this race was on a Thursday at Ellis Park, the Inquiry lights would've been flashing before all the horses crossed the finish line...SL would have been easily taken down...he lugged in down the entire stretch. A jockey's objection shouldn't have been needed...it was that bad.
Really,on Woodbine,usually on the last Race after the Gate Open,Inquiry already Posted,especially the Longshot won like 60-1…commonn,it’s part of Horse racing..
Thx stan
He should not have been brought down. SL never impeded the forward motion of FY. Yes, he lugged in, and Tyler was trying to correct that. FY was coming in on SL too. I don’t know what else was going on, but I believe Tyler is going to be talking to the stewards this week.
Yeah because horses that race the derby go through ellis and all lol. 29 mph vs 37 mph. Ellis is a poor excuse for a horse track, extremely slow on payouts through fdtv
@@mavismounds BUZZERS stick in your face or over 6 whips & drunk or high while riding a horse is illegal.
The stewards at Churchill Downs was a disgraced, point blank ! They didn't sound any inquiry after the race which should have been immediate. What people don't understand is that without this incident of Sierra Leone bumping many times Forever Young in the straight and very badly shortly after turning for home, where FY stumbled badly, FY would have won the Kentucky Derby for Japan. The offence was very severe and the jockey of SL should be penalised very severely for that foul.
100 percent correct the Stewart's missed the call
@@Tom-se8lkYES I agree 110% !!!
I agree!
The 12 creamed Dan towards the rail, just before the home stretch....there was bumping everywhere.
Clearly you didn't understand the danger Forever Young was in from Sierra Leone. Read my comment above. I watched a head on clip and had Sierra Leone's jockey not tried to prevent a collision it may have ended in a catastrophe. Have you ever ridden at 40 mph? I've only ridden at 20-25 mph, and I cannot imagine how Sierra's jockey managed to stay on and do what he did. So you have preferred a collision and broken legs??? Really!
I was shocked that a Inquiry wasn't flashing as I thought that the 2 had interfered with the 11 coming down the stretch. Then i read several days after the race that Jockeys in Japan don't complain and leave it up to the Stewarts to make the call if they see inference.
The correct procedure is to put up the "I" and conduct an inquiry. If there was contact that meaningfully impeded the 11's forward progress or if Tyler touched the 11 and came into his lane on his journey in several paths, the 2 comes down and is placed 3rd. Those are the rules, and the stewards have the discretion on when to do an inquiry but this was OBVIOUS. The stewards know this. This is after the fact damage control.
IN MY WHOLE TIME I HAVE BEEN A HORSE RACE FAN I NEVER WITNESS A JOCKEY PUTTING HIS HAND ON ANOTHER HORSE...UNTIL NOW. IS THAT ILLEGAL??? AND IF IT IS WHY DIDN'T THE STEWARDS PUT THE INQUIRY SIGN. OR HOW ABOUT THE JAPANESE JOCKEY...IS HE AWARE HERE IN THE STATES YOU CAN PROTEST A FOUL? CALLED AN "OBJECTION."
All us Australians will be remembering the late great jockey Mel Schumacher who passed away in March this year. In the 1961 Australian Derby he got banned for life for reaching down and pulling the leg of the opposing jockey for 50 yards going to win in a very tight finish. The ban was later changed to five years and Mel got to resume his impressive career. In some ways the incident marked the end of an era in Australian racing as it was the first time Stewards disqualified a jockey using the new front-on footage available.
I'm more concerned for the safety of the horses..If that contact caused one of the horses to trip and fall,,,,it could have been a unthinkable event...
Absolutely ❤🐎♥️
if you are so concerned for the horses stop supporting thoroughbred horse racing. It is a cruel sport, ruining most of these horses for other equine sports. What do you think happens to all of the losers?
@@janetannerevans2320 why are you on this site. culttification, what is more important? the life of a newborn or the life of a horse, CHOOSE LIFE is about Human Beings. To fight for a higher cause, CHOOSE LIFE. DO share your opinion on human life. 👶👩🍼👨🍼🧑🍼👼🍼🚼
A jockey is never supposed to interfere with other jockeys nor horses.
For sure that is one of the rule. Shame on HRA for not imposing the rule. Maybe because the FY and Jockey are Foreigners. Not accustomed to complaining on their part.
No wonder Chad Brown didn't want a review. I thought that was very odd since it was so close. Both of these horses were bumping into each other down the stretch, but wowza.
Debe ser suspendido por esta accion que sin lugar a DUDAS es una FALTA de parte del jinete TG. Contra el.caballo que finalizo 3 tercero Por Siempre Joven...
Ganar es una fortuna sin TRAMPA tiene mas MERITO Y VALOR
Trampa de parte del.jinete de SIERRA LEONA
I thought that type of racing only happened in Nascar...
LOL...
Winning jockey payday is 300k,,,, would you be fighting to win????I don't agree with what Tyler did tho but big competition for 300k,,,
Or china
Happens a lot in horse racing. The stewards ALWAYS side with the favorite, in this case SL. It's about $$$$
Japanese don't complain much. They take mistakes differently. They just come back and do a better job next time. On behalf of how you were treated, I am so sorry.
Problem is there was no mistake on their part...they were just robbed by Tyler....if it was the other way around, there would have been such a out cry!
@@ericpkingston1327 LOL...Chad is crying and its his horse that did the lionshare of the contact and lugged over several lanes and went into the 11's lane.
Well it is disgraceful what he did.
Esp to jockeys who are guests in our country.
Especially when they at fault
OH WELL THIS IS HORSE RACING...I ALREADY GOT PAID SO YOU CAN DQ GAFFALIONE IF YOU WANT TO. SAME THING HAPPENED WITH BOB BAFFERT. THE STEWARDS FOUND OUT BAFFERT DRUGGED MEDINA SPIRIT AND LONG AFTER THEY DQ...MEDINA SPIRIT PLUS HE DIED OF DRUG OVERDOSE. BUT I ALREADY HAD THE MONEY IN MY BANK. SO THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD TO GIVE THE MONEY BACK WAS BOB BAFFERT...
Anything got to do with gambling is crooked 😒 😑 🙄 😤 😐 🙃
In a race of the magnitude of the Kentucky Derby and purse involved. This is a piss poor judgment. It was obvious there was lugging in by Sierra Leone. To the point that Forever Young hind was knocked aside. They didn't do their job. To claim the jockey didn't object is a copout. Don't tell me they didn't have access to photos, replays and stills. Churchill, keep up the clown act. It's been going on since Maximum Security.
He should be penalized! Clearly touched the other horse after bumping him a bunch of times!
This is so egregious that the stewards failed to raise an inquiry. There are so many views of Tyler in HD touching the whip against FY and it just so happens at the finish line. Hawskley Hill was DQ’d from the Woodbine Mile years ago when the Jockey’s whip struck another horse and that was accidental! This one clearly looks intentional seems like a cover up.
You forget the Head Start was the same as the one who put Maximum Security down and Tyler Gaffleone was the one who caused that problem
Tyler did not have room to use his whip to try to move Sierra away from FY. He put his hand there to prevent a collision. Horses bump each other in racing. SL is an extremely aggressive horse and I commend Tyler for trying to prevent a disaster.
@@aliciakrzyzewski3854 I don't know where you get the aggressive part with Sierra Leone I'd say you could use that word on Tyler Gaffileon especially if you watched the Ann Oldfather's version of the Maximum Security case instead of the Churchill Downs version you'd look at Gaffileone a little differently I think
In The Jamaica Derby in 1979 the rider of the 2nd place horse tried to kick out the rider of the winner foot out of the saddle while they both were fighting out the finish and the rider of the winner used his whip and hit the other rider in his face and right after the race the rider of the 2nd placed finisher ran to the stewards to complain but nothing happened ( no chance in the other of finish).
There definitely was an infraction committed by Tyler Gaflione. The Stewart's normally place a small suspension on the jockey, according to the book on jockey misconduct.
Dirty
I saw that when the race was going on. He should be disciplined for that.😂
The echos of yesteryear! The top of the stretch at Pimlico in 1980...!
As a factual matter, Luis Saez, not Tyler G., rode Maximum Security for Jason Servis in the Derby. Several keep saying it was Tyler on Max.
Goes to show how little the complainers actually know what they saw. Sad really.
What the hell is he doing with his hand and his whip on forever young
????? Automatic 30 days suspension
@user-cn1hp2de6i yea a
1,000lb 🐎 horse with his fingers
Yea right
He's obstructing the path of forever young's finish Sierra Leone disqualified from 2nd to 3rd. Forever Young
Goes up to 2nd place
@user-cn1hp2de6i nope cause I can't stop it with my fingers and whip it's against the 🐎 horse racing secretaries rules (impeding- inflicting-causing interference). Read your "horse racing conduct rules by a hockey must not
Read above.

He should be disqualified
We all saw what he did to the Japanese Jockey!!! It was terrible and so outrageous!!! He should be banned from riding in any race for 5 years!!!!
Agree. The jockey also should be banned from Preakness stakes and Belmont Stakes.
No sportsmanship. Too dangerous to race forward.
What. Are you kidding. 🐴🤯
You're clueless. That jockey/horse repeatedly verrex into and slammed into the other horse (Sierra Leone). SLs jockey was trying to disconnect them, get some spacing, since the other jockey was incapable.
@@Mst-bh9tiyou're blind as a bat he did the same damn thing to Maximum Security..... they need more capable people to be Stewards
Sierra Leone should have been disqualified. : )
No he shouldn't The Japanese horse n jockey intiated first just look at the front video as the horses are facing you Clearly Forever young started it Sierra Leone did nothing wrong so you people give it up your nuts Sierra Leone is the winner to me best horse by far Mystic Dan got lucky longer race he never would win tired at the end Sierra Leone was getting faster
@@frankdeangelo6327 Sierre Leon started it by drifting into Forever Young in the stretch and he kept coming over and coming over and coming over. He was trying to push Forever Young over to the rail when he should have done in his running where he was....in the middle of the track.....like Secretariat did in 1973 and he crossed over to the rail ONLY when he was clear of Sham....over a length clear...not right next to him.
@@NalaRichenbach I see different front view Forever young drifted first n did few times It was equal between both horses but Forever young intiated first clearly I watched it 50 times my view doesn't change I can't believe you people don't see that watch it slo mo. N you'll see what I'm talking about Forever young drifted first into Sierra Leone n stayed awhile so Tyler Gafflione just stuck his arm out to push horse away so he could use his left hand crop nothing wrong with that No foul It really doesn't matter We all know Sierra Leone is the best horse clearly he's great fighter beast horse Mystic Dan got lucky he tired at the end longer race he never wins loses So it's the accurate account Sierra Leone got robbed my opinion he would of won if forever young doesn't keep drifting into him
@@frankdeangelo6327 Forever Young had just switch over to his right lead and the ither jockey purposely pushed into him to throw him off his momentum. I've seen jockeys do that before. IF Sierre Leon was a great race horse, he could have gone around everyone, cleared the field and moved over to the rail without bothering anyone. Like Secretariat did 51 years ago. just go up the center of the track if the rail is taken.
@@NalaRichenbach he is a great horse any horse that lets others have the lead n remains dead last n closed with that speed is definitely great he's better than all these others He will win Belmont watch n see so I can laugh at you You don't know nothing about horse racing So Stop while you can Sierra Leone number 1.
He's lucky he didn't lose any fingers
That was just crazy😮
Sierra Leone is a horse known to drift left during a race. The jockey knew it would happen. Rather than try to counter it, he allowed it to happen repeatedly, knocking into Forever Young. If that wasn't bad enough he reaches over with his whip on Forever Young? People saw it that day! Why wasn't it dealt with immediately? This not only probably cost Forever Young 2nd place, it might also have cost him the win! Unbelievable.
By the way, I bet on Sierra Leone to win. But I am apalled at the tactics used.
Stewards insulting our intelligence by saying they reviewed what happened right after the race but failed to conduct an inquiry.
Ability to use his stick in his left hand is no excuse - Chris Rodgers would pass it through his mouth and hit right. He was a true jockey with skills vastly exceeding this young fellow.
Although he had no teeth when I met him.
I thought I saw that blatant shove! Clear violation! If an old lady with a small TV could see that then why couldn't any officials!! Total BS.
No sportsmanship. The jockey is too dangerous to stay in racing. Bad demonstration.
Don't forget what he did to (same jockey, same Head Steward) Maximum Security
Agree that incompetent Jap jockey needs banned. Sierra wants us if jap doesn't drive into Sierra pushing into him wide. Gaff had to push the fuknyt away
Dangerous your an idiot he's one of the greats Italian are great jockeys Irad is a dangerous jockey dirty jockey Tyler did nothing wrong your dreaming
NO DOUBT...#11, FOREVER YOUNG SHOULD HAVE WON the Derby, if not for T.Gaffilione's INTERFERENCE!!
I had $$$ on him 😢
Look at the Head-on view..definitely interfered with. The Japanese are too proper & dignified..to file an objection. Happy Racing, Enjoy!!
The crazy thing is had Sierra not lunged in at Forever Young they both would've beat Mystic Dan , but Sierra Leone would have still finished 2nd to Forever Young , I had a $20 11/2 exacta! That jockey slcost me 3 grand!
The judges did not do their jobs right for the 2nd and 3rd place finishers. Clearly SL IS a disqualification horse in this race and should have been placed 3rd without stating the obvious. Why do the suspension now shit …I want my money back!!!!!
My too $10 exacta. Or $ 450 double if he won ! This has been going on for years now. Stewards losing credibility ! Tracks and racing commission are like the Democrats, doing nothing but ruining the sport ! Accountability !
The Churchill Downs stewards are corrupt as can be. They DQ Maximum Security in 2019 then let Sierra Leone slide in 2024. And while we are at it lets suspend Bob Baffert for 3 more years..
Correct
@@davejeffrey5819 correct
@@davejeffrey5819you are completely right when it was the same jockey & the same Head Steward that caused Maximum Security to lose his Derby
Its to little to late. It should of been a inquiry at the end of the race. Best to just leave the decision stand and move on.
The fine isn't enough, the difference in prize money is too much greater. This is like stealing a 100 thousand dollar item, being fined 1 thousand dollars and getting to keep the item.
It looked to me that in part of the back stretch, Forever Young’s jockey kept pulling him further & further to the outside - more than what was needed to clear the pack - which then kept pushing & bumping into Sierra Leon. Then near the finish line, Sierra was bumping into Forever. Both looked at fault to me at different stages of the race.
Correct!
They both are in the wrong by bumping into each other
@@perrywoodcock9209Yes that was the Horses,but Leones Jockey touched Forever Young with his whip and that is against the Rules .
@@tanjawachsmuth5631and please don't forget what he did to Maximum Security..... he's about as low class an individual as there is to have caused that crisis and not admit he did wrong!!! I mean that was the Kentucky Derby for God's sake!!!! And the only way you'll get the true picture is watching Ann Oldfather's version and not the Churchill Downs version from the incompetent Head Steward....
So people sometimes horses naturally bump into each other because multiple issues,jockey, habits, soreness, and also nothing goes perfectly straight,in regards to Tyler reaching over and touching horse or other jockey I think that's totally uncalled for Tyler is a seriously good winning jockey,, but maybe it's retaliation for something including bumping,,,but no objections or inquiries,then maybe stewards can inquire to conduct between the two involved and make a decision,as far as disqualification there's really no infraction,,, especially if jock or trainer did not object,,,so is it playing dirty??? maybe,but no different result so nothing there except maybe unsafe riding on both jocks or Tyler ,,, entirely up to jock, trainer and stewards,,,
Those lovely horses 🤎 starting to look beast
I had the 11 horse to win.
Me to 😢
I’d call it a penalty. And disqualification. He had zero need to touch the horse.
If Tyler didn’t hold or cause to lost Forever Young Jockey’s whip. Knowing FY has a strong kick Who knows he would have beat Mystic Dan to the wire. Tyler is a sore loser becoming to be a dirty jockey.
Correct forever young would of won
If forever young didn't push wide, bump and block sl earlier in the straight he would have went by and also won.... Both at fault in different stages of the race
@@vincnet1982 Sierra Leone was boxed on the back stretch buddy. Rider was anxious to go wide could’ve waited to pass tiring rivals
@@245Dgkhe did the same thing in Maximum Securitie's race but it was pouring down rain and there wasn't any social media cameras going off so Churchill Downs got away with that one.... same Head Steward, same jockey.....
He will be DQ'ed and relegated to third. Then there will be a fine for reckless riding
He can’t be DQ’d for a riding infraction after the race is official. He can be suspended and fined.
@@racefan1951Got a bit ahead of myself, wanted to say "Should have been"
Agreed. The worst part was that the stewards didn’t even look at it . Whether they would have taken him down or not they had an obligation to post them inquiry sign.
Yes, and added to that what was mind boggling is that the jock on Forever Young never objected
Absolutely 💯 you don't put hands on horses or kick or anything if horses bumps it happens but this was Wrong
Sports has always given us a window into our country's strengths and flaws. We are so acclimated to cheating and covering it up - that even when someone blatantly cheats in front of millions of people - authorities pretend not to notice....
In the bush tracks, I’ve seen the jockeys get hit with a whip, actually whip, the other jockey and a bush track
Has anyone ridden or been near thoroughbred horses in real life ? They are incredibly strong and powerful animals bred and born to compete with each other. They are not cuddly horses to pat, they are entire horses, the cream of their generation in terms of genetics. The Derby is the pinnacle of a flat horses life he will be at his absolute peak. Horses are amazingly beautiful animals but let them do their work, let them be what they were born for.
Famously a leading Australian jockey in the 1960's was banned from riding for life for the same thing. They later let him ride again 20 years later.😮
As well he should. Cost Forever Young the Derby.
The other jockey was cutting him off and keeping him back.
Ridiculous,he prevented a nightmare
It wasn't just the touching, he pinched the Japanese horse from the outside to the inside from halfway down the stretch. How was that not interference?
They had to do something as the whole world can see the mistake of not calling interference. Forever Young jockey was very graceful about the whole thing after being bumped a couple times and grabbed or pushed. Someone should have called an inquiry on day of race.
The Japanese team got a taste of American Fairplay 😂, yet again
They'll get second place.
That's very clear Tyler commits foul riding with his horse siera Leon. He should be penalized for foul riding. Forever young should be the 2 ND place🎉🎉🎉
Even worse. He may have won
The horse lugs in , Tylor was riding, the Japanese jockey Rhode back it 2as a fair stretch run, knock it off ..Tylor Rhode it right with a lug in horse , hell it was a race..A good one a little banging isn't out of line under those split second decisions
Very nice
When they are squeezed so close together the jockeys can hang up on each others' stirrups. If the arm out gave them both space it would've been better for both of them. They aren't supposed to slug each other, pull each others' feet out, grab reins or push each other off as in days of yore. But if Tyler thought he was hanging up or perhaps even WAS hanging up he was within his rights. Interestingly, in this same KD race there was an example of sportsmanship I saw and was very impressed. When Dan moves up the rail after the half it's a tight space between Track Phantom and the rail. Joel had his whip in his inside hand but avoided clipping Brian with his elbow or crowding/blocking him. Kudos to Joel Rosario. That's the way it's supposed to work.
If you really think the arm strength of a 110lb jockey would reduce the gap between two racehorses, you're out of your mind.
@@justkerry173 He wasn't attempting to reduce space but to keep from hanging up one each others' gear. Pound for pound it has been claimed numerous times that jockeys are the strongest sportsmen. You might be surprised.
@@user-cv2ee4wt6x he was cheating.
Joel let Mystik Dan through the gap between the rail and Track phantom and that cost a lot of people their bet on the race.
@@vernonfrance2974 He could've just as easily gotten shoved out of the way. If he could've kept ahead of Dan he would've had plenty of room. I like a clean race. To each his own.
I know what it trying to do, it's just to shows his left hand on his horse to avoid to get in and in, the horse it was really trying to get in on the final sixteen...
I rode races for 20 years. I think he should have a fine coming. Next time maybe he will try harder to keep his horse off the other horses. I’ve rode horses before where I literally had to quit whipping to take hold of one rein with both hands and stand up to keep my horse off the other horses. But hey, he was going for the Kentucky Derby win. I probably would have got excited too and rode the same race he did. Just saying I think a fine is justified because he could have done more to keep his horse off the others.
The Stewards are to blame
Not the jockeys
Why didn't the other jockey claim foul..
They’re from Japan, as the trainer said… jockeys don’t file objections, they leave it up to the stewards.
@@creaturafauna I heard that too and I have trouble believing it
This cost bettors millions of dollars.
The reason the stewards didn't review and file an objection they didn't want anything to taint the finish of the 150th anniversary of the race. The prestige of this race has gone done hill because of these bad calls by the stewards.
0:29
His horse was beaten by a short head, maybe had he kept his hand away from another jockey- He MIGHT have won
Look, if they changed the placing of second and third I would have had the Hi five which paid 316,000 $ . Did Sierra squeeze down ? Yes. Did he make contact? Yes. So what. I just got unlucky. My second place horse for a gigantic double got nailed at the wire in the previous race. Sometimes its just a game of inches. Probably the 2 the 11 and even the 10 are better horses than the 3. Who cares? A ballsy ride by the 3s jockey gave Dan the W. My saver win bet put me ahead for the day. Was it 350,000? 🤔 Just got to keep handicapping and dream. ( just an aside the bounce on Fierceness was a little obvious )😊
Just missed. It's not the first time. 🤯
Fantastic
Good!
Mr. Sakai(Jockey) and his trainer, Mr. Yahagi were not objecting but I am. If I were there, I objected and Forever Young will be the second, at least.
Por muchísimo menos en el 2019 bajaron Maximun security con Luis Sáenz.......... Porque? Ahora estan dando vueltas.
He caused first intimidation long before that stage, Forever Young was very unlucky
I don't see why they saying thier was no jockey objections isn't thier job to look for interference...
The Japanese horse started the banging at the eighth pole, then 150 yards out leaning all over him what the hell is he supposed to do
Do you think the Kentucky good ol boys are gonna let a Japanese horse win their derby?
The stewards in the Mecca of horse racing in America must stop smoking that stuff. There was no one more blind than the one who refused to see. Shocking!!! It is the rider of Forever Young who should have been booked for not protesting. It’s becoming a habit at Churchill Downs.
I was shocked seeing it on TV, I said to my boyfriend, that horse bumped that horse more than once is leaning in on him. That Disqualifies him or place him back..... Bad, Nothing against the Winner, but of Sierra Leones' Jockey, he should be suspended....
This happens a lot in racing, jockey hitting the adjacent horse. They are skilled at hiding it. Why do you think crops are 3 feet long now? Stewards are three blind mice.
Bottom line is he interfered with a horse from Japan which is why stewards did nothing!
I definitely hope ole Tyler won’t be riding SL at Belmont …
He ruined that fabulous horse in the Derby…don’t give him the opportunity to do it again..☹
I thought he actually hit the winner with the whip, just an opinion.
There’s a whole horse in between them so I don’t see how
@@RachelFulmer watch the race again.
Watch the race again. 🤯
I did also !
Well----the way ANYTHING can be faked with CGI these days, I wouldn't put it past "someone" to have been johnny-on-the-spot with computer digitizing the whole damn thing....
Bullshit Tyler Gafflione did nothing wrong Watch the video from a front view of the 2 horses you can plainly see the Japanese jockey drifted over first and was bumbing Sierra Leone like crazy n all Tyler was trying to do is keep Forever young away from Sierra Leone so Tyler just reached over n push. Horse away so Tyler could use his left hand with the crop but he couldn't because Japanese horse n jockey kept going into Sierra Leone like 3 times so if anybody should be penalized it should be the Japanese jockey on Forever young or just leave it alone Sierra Leone is the best Horse if there wasn't any bumbing he wins the race easy Mystic Dan tired would of lost probably been 3rd place So You people arent very bright and need glasses
Lol
I have to disagree with you on your glasses: Sierra Leone lugged in in the Bluegrass Stakes too in fact he never switched to his right lead till he got to the 8th pole but the Forever Young horse bothered him at the head of the stretch I think the Jock lost his whip but Tyler Gaffigan should never HAVE had his hand or whip on the other horse no matter what happens he pulled the same crap with Maximum Security
@@montanawarren8462 I'll bet you anything you got Sierra Leone will win the Belmont stakes that's how great the horse is n Jockey
@@frankdeangelo6327 well you might think he's great but I've never forgiven him for what he did to Maximum Security and what the stewards at Churchill did to that horse you have only got the Churchill Downs version ( pull up the Ann Oldfather's version for the Wests Court battle) you don't look at things with the full spectrum your eyeglasses need adjustment and I don't know about him making the Belmont course a mile and a half he's got something wrong with his assend that's why he keeps lugging in you can see it in the post parade for the Derby that's why Chad Brown is so good on the turf horses with assend problems can only run on the turf.... give me a break now you got me pissed off!!!
A nice? hospitality act by USA, treating another culture by saying "am here, get off"... we could pick up a trait of USA arrogance, excuse my words.. is in the air.
Proof is in the pudding#
I believe the stewards did not pick it up...but in the case of Maxium Security.....
The years that MS was DQ, he did less and they penalized him immediately. Steward failed this year
Instead of a fine, he should be disqualified and second place given to Forever Young. No other punishment is acceptable.
Maybe he was trying to get the jockey of forever young to stop bouncing up and down on him like a school girl on a merry-go-round. Dude looked like he was on a bouncy ball ffs
Probably the stewards did not bet on the Japanese horse so need to look for a foul
Really? I am pretty damn sure he prevented what could have been a big castrophe. These are animals and anything can happen in a millisecond while riding a freight train at 40 mph. You should leave it alone and let the horses and the jockeys be.
Me da mas Verguenza, la Pesima Actitud de los jueces ,que no castigaron al jokey por su trabajo sucio con el japones.
Si. No fue necesario empujar al caballo japones con su latigo.
No whip could have been used on Forever Young! Notice the hand ride the last 1/6-----head bob my ass-
Definite foul
The cost Forever Young shot at second place which he probably would have got Chad's million dollar horse it's just that a million-dollar horse that don't make you the greatest or the best. And let's not forget Chad still just a Turf trainer
Chad does well on the turf and the dirt.
Foi uma vergonha mundial!!!
Get over it already ! I swear someone always got to bth about something go figure....
To much at stack to get over it, that’s as dirty as bob baffert giving horses peds
