The filly got tired and drifted but JV was right up on her and Geroux couldn't whip as freely as he'd have wanted. In fact he came very close to hitting Curalina with his whip. If it's a requirement that tired horses run straight in the stretch, then add lanes and dq those coming out of them. If not, then allow them to drift a path and don't give the benefit to jocks that crowd them. If a jock can't freely whip a tired horse he shouldn't be punished.
They allow all that herding and they take down horses that drift a path.
