As far as the job being that hard or challenging I just don’t see that but will take your word for it.
I do have a question somewhat related. If Midnight Bourbon did not clip heels and fall down do you think HRC would still be disqualified?
If In the BC Classic Race a horse fell down because of that Bayern scalp job would he have been disqualified ?
For the record I don’t agree with either call in those races. HRC veering in was not that dramatic and if MB didn’t clip or fall down I don’t believe there would have been a DQ.
Bayern even though his infraction was out of the gate caused a very dramatic domino effect that obviously caused several horses a placement. Bad Call because if one of those horses fell down it would have been a DQ IMO.

Did you ever see the NBC blimp shot of the Bayern start? Until I saw it I was 100% sure a DQ was warranted. Afterwards, much less so. If you get a chance to see it. I'd be interested in what you think?
