All I am saying is this happens all the time in the TC/BC races and nothing is ever done
“All the time” is hyperbolic. Fouls happen. Some of them are minor, some are more egregious. The closer it happens to the finish, the more likely it is to result in a disqualification. I can’t recall a foul of this degree happening in a Grade 1 race any time recently without the horse being brought down.

I could have lived with the horse staying up. I think it was the right call...but I also wouldn’t have been shocked if they didn’t disqualify him. But if they didn’t disqualify him, I think the main reason would have been simply because it was the Kentucky Derby.
