Hey Vic, thanks for the response. I think my biggest issue with the DQ outside of the simple fact that (using your words) it was a "terrible DQ", is when the race was over and the numbers started blinking, no replays were shown. The camera's kept changing from the blinking numbers to the kid's playground. So, the bettors never saw the head on replay. I think it's absurd that in 2023 DQ's can take place when the bettor doesn't even have the opportunity to view what the stewards are looking at.
