The rule states:
"A whip to the face is not cause for an automatic disqualification unless the stewards deem it was a willful act. Such was not the case on Friday, the stewards said, but they did believe the incident cost Malibu Mint a fair shot at winning."
These stewards should immediately be dismissed for incompetence. How can someone who views races for a living conclude that MM had ANY chance of winning that race.Unfortunately the courts will probably uphold the stewards ruling. A travesty.
