So physically bumping a horse is fine, but drifting is not allowed. I'm just trying to understand the rules.

I was on the wrong end of both I needed the 4 to come down in race 2 I was shocked no inquiry. The last 5 times Ortiz herded me, he stayed up, I needed him to be 2nd to hit the tri, on wrong end again in race 4. Ortiz carried a guy 10 lanes wide in the first at spa (think maybe sept 5 but not sure) and he stayed up and that cost me a pretty big pick 5. Lack of consistency is a killer.
