When they 1st straighten into the stretch, do you see all that room between her and the fence? Do you really think she was that wide on the turn? Nope. She's trying to float them. At the very last instance of that float job, she lets him come out just too much, and Joel has to bump Setsuko. Victor also wants to make TC tight, but he's doing it in a fair manor. What he really did is show you exactly how much she's trying to float out. Victor keeps Setsuko the same distance from the rail. Well, as you can see, TC has no choice, but to run into Setsuko. He's being floated out into someone who refuses to move out (Victor doesn't have to move out just because this bitch decides to float Candy out.) So, Candy is forced into Setsuko. That 1st bump pushes Setsuko out towards the grandstand. It cost him some momentum (getting pushed sideways is not helpful.) Folks, you can stop the video right there. That next collision between TC and her horse is a 50/50, or 60/40. They got so infatuated with that collision that they lost track of the fact that she was earlier responsible for forcing TC into Setsuko. That's a foul. She 100% caused that foul. Both Victor and Chantal were trying to make it tough on T Candy. Victor did it by race riding (not giving ground when she floated T Candy out.) Chantal did it by fouling T Candy (she swerves out a lot just as they're about to straighten into the stretch.) Again that left handed whip. She came out too much right there. It forces TC into Setsuko. That's a foul. A foul they ignored, because they got interested in the more ugly bumping 3 or 4 seconds later.

I know this isn't the NFL where the play on the field stands until the replay provides absolutely clear cut evidence of reversal. I know their judgement was based on thinking that TC actually hit GOD hind quarters and initiated the contact. Judging from the differences in opinion here would it justified taking GOD down when the evidence apparently wasn't so clear cut?
