In the process the 8 drifts in a bit, Bejarano was agressive in trying to still get through there yeah, but I still say the 8 drifted in slightly before having to check. The way I saw it Bejarano to me made the right move in trying to go through the hole, but it closed quicker then perhaps he expected if anything, because the Court's horse drifted in a bit.

I just viewed the replay, I thought it was a very questionable call. I'm not sure how the stewards determined the 10 was to blame when it could have easily be said Bejarano's horse caused the inside horse to take up...In addition it looked to me Ezpinoza may not have knew Bejarano went inside when he was hitting the horse right handed causing him to drift in abit; however I do think if Bejarano kept his horse on the outside he would have gotten up anyway, this despite going 8 wide on the turn. I wouldn't be happy if I was on the 10 and have to see a decision like that.
