I'm all for less takedowns.
Yes its always debatable, the actual amount of interference. But what is shocking to me is the lack of consistency applied across the country, when it comes to the criteria that is used to determine a DQ.

How often have you seen a winner get taken down for slightly bumping a backpedaling leader as he goes by? Especially if the jockey on the backpedlaing horse stands up and checks hard. we had some great actors out here at Arlington last year that should have won academy awards for their performances.

Like a soccer player trying to draw a foul by doing a flop, same thing!
