yeah, thats the big thing, the horse that wasn't impacted at all was the one that filed the complaint and won

i can see why the rules there, if the one horse that was impacted had clipped feet with the leader, then you might have had 3 horses being put down and three mexican midgets getting seriously hurt, but the horse tried to run around a puddle, and the jockey looked to clearly be trying to pull his head back

just an all around shitty situation. terrible look having humans decide a horse race
