I chose the least popular answer that a foul is a foul regardless of whether it alters the final placing. Fouls can cause accidents that can endanger the horses and riders, even if they do not affect the order of finish and reckless "race riding" should be strongly discouraged.

In addition, the stewards are not psychics and cannot tell for sure how much they will affect the horses involved.
