This would've been a terrible DQ given the way the game is stewarded presently in the States. It's about what the player is conditioned to accepting. This is why this S h i t is allowed to go on.

In terms of the race itself, however, this would've been a justified DQ. Racing is not about a horse being allowed to take the path of it's main competitor repeatedly. The 6 was not allowed a clear and fair run to the wire. Why not? Just because the 9 is in the lead doesn't mean it has ubiquitous right of way. This isn't Roller Derby.
