I'm curious to hear your thoughts on why Seally Hill didn't deserve the Triple Tiara. Do you feel the horse should have been taken down in the Bison City??? Or, do you just feel the competition was weak?

The competition doesn't have anything to with it. According to Ontario rules of racing, when you cut off a horse, regardless whether the cut off horse had a chance to win or come second, the horse doing the infraction gets taken down.
I'm not saying I agree with the rule, but this isn't Australia or Dubai, it is Canada.
Sealy Hill clearly impeded another horse on her way to victory.
