thats a tough one at 10-1. view from behind shows #8 running diagonally the last 50 yards. left handed encouragement caused him to impede the #2 in my opinion. definitely seen worse. the head on view is pretty telling, however.

he prob still wins if he runs straight, sucks for those who wagered on him

I thought it was a legit dq, which got Rosario off the hook for a ridiculously stupid ride. The 8 came out at least 5 paths in the stretch, Rosario even drifted out before the 8 came over further, giving him more room, but the left handed whip caused the 8 to keep drifting further and further. The bumping wasn't the worst I've ever seen, but it was certainly a case of herding and intimidating. Thought the DQ was the right thing to do.
