To me, a horse should come down if it impedes another horse.
I don't care if it bumps, bites, looks cross-eyed, pouts, knocks it over the inside rail, knocks it over the outside rail, crowds, starts bucking like it's in the National Finals rodeo, dances the hula, sings the national anthem, whatever. If the opposing horse is bothered, the horse doing the bothering should come down.

Then, essentially, you think there should be five or six disqualifications a day.

There's a marketing plan!

What you're advocating is " A FOUL IS A FOUL". There's not alot that all jurisdictions agree on. This is one. A foul is a foul is NOT a good way to adjudicate inquiry's.
