Those were two of the most ridiculous back-to-back rulings you will ever see. The explanations say nothing. It's basically "Upstart was DQ'ed because he was DQ'ed" and calling what happened in the 12th a "mutual exchange" is laughable.
It's a shame, because that was a great card Gulfstream put on today, mostly overshadowed (in my eyes) by the incompetence of the stewards.

It's one of the many frustrations in a game that needs no more frustrations. I was singled to the 7 for a Pick 4 and Pick 5 score so I may be a bit biased but I think not. Yes, the 7 came in a bit in the last but the 8 appeared to come out multiple times and much more drastically, causing significant contact. In fact, if you watch the replay, it appears that as the 8 drifts out and makes significant contact with the 7 and as that happens the 7 switches leads, signifying that the bumping was drastic enough to alter the 7's chances to win or lose. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm not. But it's f*ing ridiculous when compared to the previous race. I actually thought the race deserved more of a DQ than the FOY. The explanation makes it even worse. The contact was nowhere near mutual. The 8 clearly came out more than the 7 came in. Clearly. This is an embarrassment to the game and such a fantastic card deserved a better ending!

The one word I think that explains it best is 'Pletcher'
Upstart was 'Pletcherized' known on the left coast as 'Baffertized'

Objectively, disagreed with both calls.
Subjectively, would like to thank the stewards for a $196 double to finish the day.  O

Otis, don't take it personally. He hates it when the gods of good luck smile on someone else.
