Not one person in the 20 comments I read in paulick article agreed with the decision. In my estimation, if you ask 20 horse players or fans if a dq should have been made, if you don\'t have an overwhelming bias in favor of a dq, you leave the result alone.
One thing I\'ve noticed about judges decisions from track to track is that judges never seem to take \'precedent\' or recent similar decisions from their track or any other track into consideration, a lot of the decisions are just based on their current mood. Not good for the health of the game. If you\'re going to meddle in result outcomes, there needs to be razor sharp consistency from track to track.
Most of us bet more than one track so we are dealing with different sets of judges, quite often gamblers will be on the wrong side of similar situations that had different judging.
