The lack of logic sometimes thrown out here is mind boggling to me.

No what I am saying is that if JV stays a few paths wider the bump would not have occurred. JV did not come down the stretch straight but had angled over a bit to engage the 8. A good and acceptable way to ride. However if you choose to do that, should you benefit (get the win via DQ) from a bump from a tiring horse. Like it has been said on the board before in NASCAR, they call that "just racing". Its not like the 8 was hit left handed and veered out. Quite the oppoiste as she was being aggressively hit right handed. And to rip me for logic, when I don't think anyone on this board can find consistent logic in how stewards apply DQ's is more mind boggling.
