Seemed to me they both were going for the same spot at the same time. I didn't think it was necessary for the stewards to involve themselves in the outcome.

I'm had a rooting interest in Amazombie ($5 pick 4) but I thought it was the right call only because there was so much contact. The 2 horse actually caused the problem by boring out basically almost closing the whole. It definitely didn't change the result of the race.
On a different note that was quite the ride Maragh gave Dominant Currency in the 8th. He had him 4th and in the 4 path with no-one to his outside. He then lets the rest of the field go to his outside basically shuffling him back to last. The just to piss me off more he makes a big run on the outside to finish 3rd.

IMO the 4 was impacted more by the initial bump from the 3 than the secondary bump caused by the 1 and 3 coming together later in the lane. The 1 horse was much the best and shouldn't have been taken down as the order of finish was not impacted. As a side note, it is nice to see that Mr. Smith has regained some of his nerve and doesn't opt for the widest trip possible if there is a better alternative.

It was a good call as there was a foul.
That being said even the trainer of the winner said his horse was not beating the 1 on the square, tough break.
