So, is looking back at an accident and checking on the welfare of a fellow rider "reasonable cause"? Gander, did you find Gryder's ride to be "conduct detrimental to horse racing" since you lost your bet?

I'm not trying to p*ss people off here, I just want to start a discussion about this. I know if I had money on Gryder's horse I would have been upset with that ride, but as someone who happens to like Kyle and has concern for him and his family (he's got a baby at home), I saw Gryder's actions as being very human... personally, I think Gryder should have just kept riding and never looked back.

Thoughts?
I'm sure that if your co worker in the the cubical next to you fell over dead you would just keep typing away, Naw my guess is that you would look around and then take his wallet.
