Guys, there is no rule that says that if you get fouled at the 1/4 pole, anything you do near the wire is immunized. Nor can it be- imagine how riders would ride after a foul if that were the rule!
The stewards applied the actual rules and precedents correctly. A foul near the wire + a nose victory always means a DQ.
This was bog standard. The stewards do not need to be fired (nor are they going to- the CHRB would laugh at this discussion if they saw it).
