Today's second race at LAD featured some young-guns who were clearly green. In the stretch, the eventual winner veered-in and interfered with the ultimate second place finisher. The winner was definitely the better horse, but was DQ'd for the infraction.
In one case it's DQing the obvious infraction, in the other it's not-DQing the obvious infraction because it affected the outcome.
I think both sides have legitimate arguments, but regardless, across the industry as a whole, the decisions should be consistent.
