This looked like a green race for Hot Rod Charlie. He was all over the place coming around the far turn as he changed paths coming off the turn and blew out wide. Then coming down the stretch, by no obvious command of the rider, squeezed paths. Obviously he is one of, if not the most impressive 3 yr old male this year with his raw speed over distance and this race showed he can duel and hold himself. Very awful accident in the fact it happened and it's a shame it happens ever. Quick recovery my guy! Interesting race for sure.

It was just an accident merely, Flavien did not mean to cause Midnight Bourbon to almost fall, but because of what could’ve happened, the stewards went ahead and disqualified HRC. Lots of times you will see jockeys try and get their horses over next to another horse to battle with them because it makes the horse fight and not just think it’s job is done and the end up losing

If Prat was allowed to use a crop he would have kept HRC focused and straight. Ironically, the crop rule is making this track more dangerous for the horses and jockeys. I hope for the sake of this sport no other track takes up these dangerous and unnecessary crop rules.

Should’ve been longer

Should've kept Talamo back on Midnight. @:36 Paco did the same thing first and Prat skillfully avoided being squeezed in. Then at the 1/4 pole, Paco tried to bust a Maximum Security move and force Hot Rod out and Mandaloun kinda squeezed him out too... Just all bad by Paco... Just saying

This unsafe riding needs to be addressed before we have severely injured jockeys horses or worse. Wake up stewards do your job!

@@anthonya2349 VERY clueless...wasnt really anyone's fault. Hot Rod has been a HANGER who's only win this year was wire to wire in the Louisiana derby. He is still learning how to pass horses in the stretch correctly,something that is not easy to do for some horses. This was a great(but near tragic) schooling race for Hot Rod...

@@marklewen9384 Yeah exactly, he even tried wiring the field in the Belmont and still got run down, he's a good horse, but it's true that he hangs and doesn't really seem like he likes to pass horses.

Horses only do what trained and ridden to do so lets be putting this one completely on rider disqualified not hrc.

Horse and rider are a team, if your teammate is disqualified, so are you

Um, newsflash, the horse has absolutely NO IDEA THAT HE WAS DISQUALIFIED. He doesn't even know what that means. To HRC, he still thinks he finished ahead of Midnight Bourbon

It looked like the clipped hooves!!!!

midnight boubon did get hurt in the exchage

The three horse I thought came in causing the horse to fall. Get well Paco Lopez .

The 3 horse had nothing to do with it if you watch the head on

How is this jockey and horse?

Fine

But Chorley got missed suddenly

If you are on a straight track racing to the wire…..why would you change lanes?

@Balli, they do it to herd the other horse and try to intimidate.

Also, some horses naturally swerve left to get with the herd and avoid the crowd on the right. The jockeys need to steer.

Go and see 2019 Kentucky Derby... and see who was responsible for Maximum Security disqualification.
