Snuck in the Back

Anyone see the headon of her race today? Was the DQ justified?

Just looked at it using Twinspires... I think the DQ stunk. Snuck in the Back was clear by at least a length, and both horses were drifting in at the time of the incident. V-Gomez straightened SITB after just a few steps, and was only really directly in the path of the 6 after Cruz over-reacted and switched paths himself (the 6 had nothing left at that point anyway). I would assume the stewards justified the DQ because the 70-1 shot 9 horse outfinished the 6, but that was due to the horse being tired, not any interference, in my opinion.
I would also assume Manny Cruz vs Huber Villa-Gomez had something to do with the DQ as well.

Just ONE more reason to STAY AWAY from Calder.
