All kidding aside it was a horrendous DQ and by my calculations it was the second time in about a month (they took down a heavy fave trained by Levine in early November) that was incredibly inconsistent.

Agreed- consistency is all we're asking for, across all jurisdictions. In KY they let the jocks get away with murder, in NY I've seen times where a horse has been taken down without contact. This was a case where there should have been no change, end of story. The favorite should have stayed up. It sets a bad precedent to allow stewards to make changes with as little contact/impact on the race as this.
