Many times a horse can be disqualified and the jockey held blameless.
Many times a result can be left as is and the jockey sanctioned for a riding violation.
The two decisions are separate examinations.
I don't understand why that is so hard to grasp?

The only thing i've grasped from this thread is how useless track stewards can be in determining outcomes.
