No kidding the outcome doesn't just refer to the top spot - and the horse who finished 4th was the one that was fouled and she finished 7 full lengths behind the 3rd place finisher.
No halfway rational person could even attempt to argue that the foul cost her more than 2.5 lengths tops - let alone 7 full lengths.
Had another horse passed her for 4th ... than a DQ could be justified because there was superfecta wagering on the race and 4th money is still 4th money.
