I agree with most of what you're saying. Where I think this race is different is the last contact just before the wire. You can see Ortiz tug on the left rein and lean his body to the left to initiate enough contact to cause the other horse to check back. That, I think, is interference and cause for a DQ. The margin of victory was only a nose. I think it mattered.
