From what I saw, the 2 came over to block the 4, which is legal, but the 4 tried to shoot the gap anyway, and the 4 hit both the 3 and the 2 and both the 3 and 2 hit the 4. I thought if the 4 was in the right, like its jockey claiming the 3 and 2 fouled him, then the 3 and the 2 should have both been penalized, but if the 4 tried to shoot through a gap that no longer existed, then the order should have stood as it finished. The stewards making the favorite win when the 7 was a late scratch was sheer cowardice on their part, IMO.
