I you watch enough headons you'll note that ALL JOCKS basically do nothing when they get herded. This is because forcing their horse to stay straight results in a collision. As a congenital HERDER, Castellano knows this, as he's been granted the benefit of the doubt countless times by other jocks. Watch the replay again: he initially allows his horse to drift, then, realizing what's happening, resists, first by straightening him out, then by sticking him righty. Well, Garcia is coming out and Castellano decides to GO IN. He knew exactly what would happen. There's no collision if he doesn't straighten and then actually have his horse come in (to meet the other).

I'm not saying there are no grounds for DQ. Just that if all jocks rode the way the Castellano did there'd be a lot more collisions and a lot more dead jocks.

Castellano is just a punk. Sooner or later, he'll get his. It's inevitable.
