Have to agree with you. Awful call. (And full disclosure, I bet the #4 in that race.)
The #4, after making a long sustained run that began on the backstretch, headed the #6 in upper stretch - but then began to tire.
The rider of the #4 continued with right handed stick - and the #4 came in a bit - brushing with the #6.
After initial contact was made by the #4: The rider of the #6 hand rode - and pulled ahead -- and in my opinion did so while maintaining a straight line.
If you watch the head on -- freeze the action at the top of the stretch -- note the positioning of the #4 on the outside and the #6 on the inside -- and watch from there:
It becomes crystal clear that the #4 comes in and initiates contact. (Not the other way around.)
