The race your talking about was the 2003 Arlington Million where Storming Home was taken down and Godolphin's Sulamni was placed first with the dead heated Paolini and Kaietuer moved up to second. What makes it just a terrible call was the jackass stewart Edward Arroyo statement, "We viewed the replay to determine if there had been interference and after determining that there had been, we viewed the replay again to determine if the interference had occurred prior to the finish of the race,and we determined that the incident had occurred about 20-25 feet prior to the finish; therefore we disqualified the winner and placed him fourth for interference to both Paolini and Kaieteur, who dead heated for third."
Oops he did it again in the 2004 Arlington Million taking down Adain O'Brien's Powerscourt and putting up cry baby Kent Desormeaux's Kicken Kris. O'Brien did come back with Powerscourt to win the 2005 Arlington Million as if to say FU.
