I dont agree with the call but I see what the stewards are thinking.
Espinoza went a bit wide on the turn and then with that right handed whipping caused the horse to move in to other horses that were jumbled and drifting out a bit. Espinoza closed the hole with a longer shot not allowing the best horse (and favorite) to win.
If I had the 10... I would be mad. I understand what I think the reasoning is however. If that makes any sense. If Espinoza had kept it straight in the stretch the 9 would have won without DQ imo.
