Default DQ's in Major Races

I was watching HRTV last week, and they were talking about the '98 Belmont. I was just getting into racing at that time, so I never realized until they were showing the head on just how much Real Quiet came out on Victory Gallop in the stretch. The topic was whether or not Real Quiet would have been dq'd had he actually won the photo. They even called one of the stewards who was working that day, and he would never actually say what they would have done if he had won. He just stated that they had gotten lucky the photo went the way it did.

I'm sure it has happened, but can anyone think of any major races where the winner was dq'd for interference? I remember watching the Breeder's Cup Mile last year and seeing Goldikova cut someone off, but nothing was done. As I recall that horse finished well back in the field, so it may not have mattered anyway. Do the stewards seem to be more forgiving on major race days like that?
