Looking at it again this morning, given that in the final stretch any nonsense was over and it was a flat out race which Maximum Security was clearly winning it's clear the disqualification is a travesty. Hope those involved are fired and never return to decision making power.

As soon as the rider of MS said the horse spooked and it took a few seconds before he got “control” again, there was an admission of losing control of the horse. The horse MS made contact with was #1, who had just bumped #18 out of his way. It wasn’t contact that got MS disqualified, it was loss of control by the rider, who admitted it. If anyone should have been disqualified for contact, it was #1. As far as anyone being fired for this...IT’S A HORSETRACK! It’s run by HORSETRACK people who take money from people all year long. This is the one event they try to clean up for every year. Thank goodness it isn’t a harness race.
