I guess you had a "little guy" Kentucky trainer 4th and a "big name" California trainer 5th....but the stewards can't forget there was a superfecta in that race.
I guess Fifth-Third bank and a very tiny fraction of superfecta players were affected any by it...and no one else.
What's ironic is, how stewards NOTORIOUSLY focus and overrate on fouls commited in the stretch run--as opposed to fouls commited in the early stages of races (when the impact is more severe)
However, in a race where they go 26 and 51 early on---and get the last 3/8ths in 34 and change---getting fouled in the stretch run is more severe than getting fouled in the early stages.
