First time seeing this since I was at the race. Kind of strange how Baffert’s other horse was there to block instead of to win. Dangerous for sure. Gamesmanship or unfair?

Francesa spent two hours last week trying to figure out why Baffert ran another one of his hawses in the race. He even asked him directly about it, and you could as almost see Baffert's "WTF?!" thought bubble before he replied. "No Mike, I'm not too concerned about it."
Some horsemen at Belmont Park took exception to the ride Florent Geroux gave Restoring Hope in the Belmont Stakes, which was won by fellow Bob Baffert trainee Justify.
