While it went without notice that Alan Garcia's whip hit the original winner in the face just inside the eighth pole, the contact that was made late in the race was pretty significant.
The stewards in NY are consistent, they take down when there is contact that costs a runner a placing and IMO there was no way the 2 was going by the 6 without the infraction for which he was ultimately DQ'ed. On the pan shot it looks like the 6 takes a bad step because he was being hit.
