how exactly did that horse stay up?? the inconsistency of what is taken down/left up is ridiculous. the rule is if the incident cost the other horse a placement in the judge of the stewards, the offender must be placed behind the horse they interfered with. now, I lack the "expert eye" the stewards apparently have

but in my honest opinion the favorite would have finished 3rd or 4th not 6th as he did.
