I agree with you a 100% on that. I constantly complain about the stewards ignoring herding and often doing so without even an inquiry.
However, for someone to call it a scam, criminal and indict the sport is absurd to me. From a purely objective standpoint as to whether the DQ was justified, it seemed clear to me that it was.
Having said that, I want the same consistency from the stewards with regard to penalizing riders for herding as well. I am tired of seeing riders take tiring horses out to herd to try to prevent a horse from going by them and getting away with it.
