At 2:05 #7 is in the 2 Path and #1 horse has his front legs inside of #7 horse back legs. This contributed to #7 veering out before returning back inside. In other words, #7 veers out AFTER #1 sticks his nose up his ass. So I'm giving #7 a only 50% blame. Thats my final decision.

Yes he is blameless. Again, I’m not sure how people can look at a video and see things that just aren’t there.

Your right. I don't see the #1 horses front legs in between the #7 horses legs even though it is as clear as day..... it must be the weed....

Your assertion is based on a single view (i.e, a side view from a wide angle).

If you watch the race at the same point from the angle provided by NBC explaining the DQ (an oblique, partially overhead view in close up), you'd see that there was no contact prior to Maximum Security veering out.

Listen to Casse on ATR yesterday.
He outlines the race from 1.57 - 2.07

He likened MS to a drunken driver, swerving out, then in, then out.
