IMO the 4 was impacted more by the initial bump from the 3 than the secondary bump caused by the 1 and 3 coming together later in the lane. The 1 horse was much the best and shouldn't have been taken down as the order of finish was not impacted. As a side note, it is nice to see that Mr. Smith has regained some of his nerve and doesn't opt for the widest trip possible if there is a better alternative.

It was a good call as there was a foul.

That being said even the trainer of the winner said his horse was not beating the 1 on the square, tough break.
