Once again, I agree with the call, just not their lack of consistancy. The only reason the outside horse made contact was because he held his ground and was bumped as the inside horse was coming out.
I don't give a **** who is complaining....I think anyone that thinks this DQ was incorrect is wrong ( and most likely biased ). But, if they left the third winner up, a number they didn't even blink, I think this one should have stayed as well. However, I believe the third winner should have come down.
I'm not particularly defending the stewards, as I am often in disagreement with them, but I believe in this particular instance the correct call was made. Remember, the horse held on by a nose and initiated contact.
