I don't give a **** who is complaining....I think anyone that thinks this DQ was incorrect is wrong ( and most likely biased ). But, if they left the third winner up, a number they didn't even blink, I think this one should have stayed as well. However, I believe the third winner should have come down.
I'm not particularly defending the stewards, as I am often in disagreement with them, but I believe in this particular instance the correct call was made. Remember, the horse held on by a nose and initiated contact.

I was just about to rant about the third winner and use it as a basis but you beat me to it. I didn't watch the third race but yet another irate friend called and told me about it so I watched the replay.
I feel that one should have been a non call as well but Speedjama was clearly carried out much worse than the horse who was put up in the 6th race. The fact that the horses in the 6th race were in closer quarters should not matter. The fact is that Jimmy The K carried Speedjama out much more than the horse in the 6th ever did.
Now can anyone explain to me how one horse stays up and the other comes down because quite frankly I'm at a total loss.
