Finally, watching the final turn from the front angle, they were all very lucky that the front 2 or 3 horses didn't go down, as that would have involve half a dozen horses and jockeys hitting the deck in that slop - at a minimum, could have gotten to 10 or more.

And that is why they had to DQ him.

I watched it and was amazed that the horse he cut off did not clip heels. That horse needs a fine dinner, all the fixings, because he saved several.

I've watched many,many,many horse races and bet on many, and that is a textbook DQ. But, stewards are afraid to make those decisions on big races, which is bullshite.

They did it in the BS classic i believe a couple years back, but didn't take down another horse who did the same in female race.

I give Stewards major stones for making the call, it was the right call.
