I think the stewards need to get a bit more consistent. There have been at least 2 cases in the BEL meet where a jockey has purposely steered his mount steadily outward during the stretch run, forcing a competitor out and costing the latter the race. If you're gonna DQ when a horse comes out suddenly in the path of another, or if a horse doesn't keep an absolute straight path in the lane (as was the case with the bug that got taken down from 2nd in that turf race) then you need to take the cases above down as well.
This isn't the NBA. It's not about flopping
