Should the winner be DQ'ed

his was an important stakes race in the Philippines ran a little over a week ago, the winner was was DQ'ed for bumping into the other horse. It has caused a major controversy back there. I wish there was a pan shot but this is all we have. Winner starts to veer out at the 1:29 mark

If I had money in the race I would have cared

I vote yes. Knocked the other horse off his path and off stride. That was within the winning margin.

yeah without seeing a head to head shot of the stretch run to see/confirm how severe the bump was, thats the conclusion id come up with too. Seems like only here in the US where they have multiple video angles of the race, thats why we are the best.

Was the purse more than $3500?

winners share was about $35,000, with the owners probably betting that much or more to win
