More seriously..this info nearly begs for further break-down. For instance: what's the corresponding frequency of objections? Inquiries? Both together? Are favorites disqualified at a comparatively lower rate than other winners likewise facing inquiry? How about high percentage trainers? Leading riders?
And does the point of infraction factor into the chances of disqualification?
So many ways to play with this data..as I'm sure you know.

LOL signing in as one of the cursed. I've had about 5 horses that I backed be disqualified I think. Brutal way to lose.
Good follow up questions for sure. I guess I'd assume that it's fairly even across the board and the rules are applied equally but perhaps we are all a little too old, jaded and miserable to believe that
It would definitely be interesting to see if favorites are disqualified at a low rate or if leading riders or trainers have a lower than expected rate.
I can see the benefit of having a huge database of past results that you can search through with queries like this.
