But no way the horse should have been DQ'd in my opinion. As a bettor I'm for less takedowns, especially in this instance where there is no contact and the jock on the horse that was supposedly fouled never checked. There are reasons for a DQ, but not this.
This was exactly my point as well. If a player thinks they were treated unfairly because there was no DQ then that's understandable. However, this would have been a TERRIBLE disqualification if there had been one.
