I didn't bet the race either.
Based on the so called head on view that was shown while the announcer explained the DQ:
The #9 did come over. It looked to me like the horses got close to each other, but I didn't see an actual bump. The rider of the #9 was no longer using his whip. But he did extend his left arm outward towards the other horse while shaking the reigns.
Do the stewards have video from a better angle showing something more definitive?
Based on what I saw: I would have let the results stand.
