This is not Chris Alford’s fault, and is probably just coincidence all round, but literally two seconds after he had breached the rules by entering the sprint lane early on Max Delight, driver Josh Aiken on Malcom’s Rhythm appears to look momentarily to his right to see what is coming down the outside, and then deliberately steers the winner’s stablemate up inside and out General Dodge in a move that he must know will cause that other horse to be bumped, and to shift suddenly to the right.
