You're right about my opinion not mattering. Problem is the Stewards say you're wrong. Their opinion matters. Fact is what he did is against the rules. They can choose to overlook it if he didn't bother a horse with run. In this case, a horse had run. They think what he did affected the order of finish. It's not that hard to see if you are objectively looking at it. It's a 2 step process that doesn't include deducing whether I have ridden enough.

1) Did a foul occur? If no, then keep the initial order of finish. If yes, then move to question number two.

2) Did the foul keep a horse from having a better placing? If no, then keep the initial order of finish. If yes, then disqualify the horse.

Which of these two questions did you answer "no" to, or are you just unconcerned with rules etc.?
