What an incredible recovery by Master Of Law, going off stride in the first turn and making a ridiculous close from no where to steal the win.

Now to what I don't understand, how in the world can this horse go off stride, leave the course and go inside 17 straight pylons, and then get back on the course and win, and not get dq'd??

And just an FYI, I had the horse singled in the pk 4 for several dollars, so it's not like I'm complaining.

I couldn't believe that they didn't take him down. Where's Trackus, did he even go a mile?

Not sure how he could have...he was inside how many pylons on the first turn? That by itself makes you believe he couldn't have gone a full mile.

I see they have responded to e-mails saying the horse complied with all the breaking rules therefore was left up....but they haven't responded to the fact the horse broke entering the first turn, cut across the infield through the turn, therefore not traveling a full mile. No response for that...

For those that haven't seen the race here is the site below, it's July 8th race 10. Horse is #1

Makes no sense, they take horses down that didn't break for going inside the pylons. 

I guess all they can say is he came to a stop and any advantage he made going inside the pylons

was less than what he lost by coming to a walk  I wish they had a video of Queens Over at

Maywood somewhere in the 80's when she spotted the field at 25 lengths and came back to win.
