I usually need the head on to see what happens in those cases, but could tell here Saez had carried Lopez out at least 3 paths. As CJ said, you hope for consistency in what they look at and how they adjudicate and the GP stewards have actually had a better winter than usual. Certainly feel awful for the ticket holder who has to absorb this kind of outcome, but the game has vagaries that test you constantly.

If its 50-50 and could be understood either way then why the take down? A disqualification should be based on indisputable evidence that Saez caused Lopez a placing. You can agree that worse infractions haven't been taken down in the past.

I tried to watch the head-on replay again on Twinspires but interestingly enough that's the only race where the head-on replay isn't available.
