It was a careless, selfish move that led to the death of a horse and probably an end of a career.

You're way off,not me.I watched the replay a zillion times and Theriot never turned his head,and never pulled a rein or did any deliberate move whatsoever.He did nothing intentional,probably didn't know Douglas was there until they bumped,and did NOT force his way in to a so called hole you claim was there,and if you ask me,it was not that bad of a bump that would warrant 30 days.This One's For Phil was bumped harder at Gulfstream than Douglas was.You will probably see a race this week where a horse gets bumped and pushed around harder than this.
