Keeneland Race 9

A Stewards Inquiry was posted involving the stretch run and, in addition, an objection was lodged by the rider of second place #3 “Tommy Jo” (John Velazquez) alleging interference by the rider of the unofficial winner, #1 “Percy’s Bar” (Luan Machado) in the stretch. After reviewing the race replay and interviewing the riders, the stewards determined that #1 bore out into #3 leaving the 1/8 pole, causing #3 to steady sharply and lose momentum. For the interference, #1 was disqualified from first and placed second, behind #3.

Official order of finish: 3-1-4-2
