Yes, Shrewd tightened things up considerably on the eventual winner, who was between horses, and the 4th place finisher, Cribnote, who was on the rail, bore the brunt of it. It was clear from the stewards view, at least to me, but it was a tough spot to make an absolute call. To be honest, I thought Shrewd, who finished third, would come down.
I think there is a certain amount of leniancy in 2YO races but I could be wrong.
