Well said. Consistency is key. Personally, as a bettor, I think this is a good rule. I hate to see a horse go down that clearly was the best in the race.
As for the jockeys you can fine them and ban them to discourage dangerous riding, and it is possible for the owners to sort out compensations as the stewards see fit without interfering in the betting markets. They do this when a horse test positive anyway.
