They moved Separatist up because he tried moving through an opening that wasnt there. Western Connection did come slightly over but was clearly in front of Separatist when he did and that happens all the time in horse racing, especially in turf racing. Look at the move Dame Ellen was making on Friday when she got the path she was going to take blocked. Would that have been grounds for a DQ had the horse that been in her way (I think it was La Rocca) finished in front of her? If they are going to move up every horse who tries to go through an opening thats not there and DQ a horse that moves slightly over, you better not even think of celebrating a win until the race becomes official.
