There should probably have been no change.

THANK YOU!!! I thought I was just being biased because I lost when Asi got taken down.

Look she was gonna perhaps win if she ever got through early in the lane, and the bumping didn't affect the order of finish, but she threw one hell of a body block and had to come down. Leparoux had to do what he did, but you can't bump into another horse while trying to create a hole for yourself.
I don't disagree that the order of finish would have been the same, or that Asi may have been best in the race, but i truly thought she had to come down for a blatant foul.
