That is for protection against a situation where there is a foul but it clearly and with virtually no doubt did not alter the outcome. Applying that rule in the infraction that prompted this discussion is among the stupidest things ever uttered in the history of the planet. The only thing more insane is saying the infraction that Bayern caused out of the starting gate "did not cost a horse a better placing".

If an adult that went past the third grade can't figure out when (and how absolutely rare it is) to apply the "it didn't cost a horse a better placing" then they need to call 1-800-mcdonalds for their next gig.
I am in the foul is a foul camp, the cases where a horse wins so overwhelmingly that the foul is meaningless is pretty small, and again riders would clean up a lot of this stuff if they started getting dq'd regularly with longer and longer suspensions. No one could argue anything from their "own" personal view point.
