I think the only question was did it alter the order of finish.
“If in the opinion of the stewards a foul alters the finish of a race, an offending horse may be disqualified”
I don’t see how the stewards concluded that the incident altered the finish of the race. WoW did get impeded, but he recovered, continued racing, and then backed up. How can they say they know that WoW wouldn’t have stopped in the stretch without the incident. Looked to me like he was just out run. And there was no interference with CH. The incident didn’t even slow him. He just got out run by MS. Taking down MS was a travesty. Another black eye for racing.
