Also, IIRC, Dooley announced during the decision that there hadn't actually been a claim of foul from the rider of Sweet Basil and that they had only conducted a stewards' inquiry.

ETA: In watching the head-on replay several times during the inquiry, I was also wondering why the #2 was not under review, so I was watching the inquiry the same way you were because the entire incident was caused by the winner.

Appreciate the comments...........sure looked strange at the time........
