All I am saying is this happens all the time in the TC/BC races and nothing is ever done

 There was a DQ in the '06 Oaks. Bushfire was DQ'd and Wait a While was promoted to 3rd. It's not without precedent, and TC/BC races (for the safety of the game, if nothing else) should be adjudicated the same as any other race.
I have no idea where you are getting the opinion that the 17, of all horses, should have been DQ'd.
