A bit extreme, certainly, but justifiable nonetheless.

This is a distasteful subject: if NYRA (and most other tracks) can't provide adequate camera angles then they really shouldn't fine (or DQ) anyone, as doing so is based on assumptions rather than (correct interpretation of) facts.

What are you smoking to have drawn that completely inaccurate conclusion ?

WATCH THE REPLAY. Getting old arguing with people who either won't or can't (properly) watch races. On the other hand, WELCOME to the handicapping pool.
