Forget about the fact they have the signature race for 3 year olds in the Kentucky Derby. Everyday racing at Churchill is a joke and outcomes are determined by the gate crew or assistant starters. I have long read about how certain races certain horses don't get a fair start due to the fact of an extra hold causing a horse to miss the break. I watched replays and came away with mmmm maybe. But today the 8th race the assistant starter had such a hold he almost came out with the horse. This after talking online with many is the norm at Churchill so maybe this accusation holds some truth. Before commenting watch some races and then lets talk about what you see. A jockey who rode the Churchill, Arlington circuit and is still riding said Arlington was much the same and he moved his tack elsewhere because these nimrods were taking food out of his and his family's mouth.
