It will be interesting to see how Race 10 is decided - the 10 clearly herded the 9 outwards into the 5; meanwhile, the 9 forced himself into a lane which did not exist in the stretch. This could clearly be a double-DQ.

A single DQ takes place as they leave the "splitter" in the win slot and downgrade only the 10 horse behind the 5 horse.

Would love to be able to ask the stewards where the lane came from that allowed the 9 to split horses. Seriously, the first six days of this meet have been a rodeo event.
