Garcia did whatever he had to do in order to "cross and clear" on Moreno.
The fact that Shared Belief was one stall inside of him was coincidental, and he was bumped sideways as collateral damage.
Two one-way speed horses in the race, but Javier Castellano was not aggressive enough and Moreno was not quick enough. As soon as he was crossed and cleared he became odds-on to finish dead last...and Bayern's chances of winning obviously increased tremendously with a loose early lead.
In America, there's no in-race Exchange wagering. You're just supposed to "watch the beautiful spectacle and enjoy the pretty horses and colors"
