As a bettor I have no faith in really anything anymore as it pertains to horse racing. Dramatic? Yeah. Honest? Hell yeah

What a gross way to lose a race. IMO if the inside had just maintained a straight course outside would have never gotten by.
However, I believe inside did in fact clearly initiate and make contact. You can clearly see outside moved off it's path by about a half lane.
All horses are entitled to a clear and unobstructed path. Given the desperately small margin of victory IMO the Stewards had no choice in the matter and correctly DQ'ed.
In the long and storied history of horse racing there has NEVER been a horse taken down that ran straight.
