Yes Joey, that's precisely the point.
The horse was purposely entered to herd the favorite 7 paths out. No other purpose.
It has absolutely nothing to do with co-entered rabbits, et. al. other "apples to oranges" comparisons.
It has everything to do with taking a legal betting interest, and premeditatively compromising any chance at all it may have had to hit the board for no reason other than to impede another horse.
If you have no problem with that, I'm not going to change your mind.
Apparently the stewards did, and I agree with their decision.
