The difference is that the starter of the still had a hold of the horse, the starter of the had let go.

I was looking for that and the starter had let go of the too.

I would imagine they make a call down and talk to the starter in these cases as well.

They are using the non-starter rule selectively to protect horses who get significant betting action.

The asst. starter let go of the 3 as soon as she reared back when the gate was opened, but the 1 you can clearly see the extended arm of the asst. starter still holding on as the horse was rearing coming out of the gate. IMO they made the correct call on both.

I just watched both videos again. You are incorrect. You cannot see the assistant starter's arm from either angle (head on or pan) on the race on the 15th.
Now maybe cj is right that they called down to the starter and were told something. But given the odds of the two horses, I retain my suspicions.

Fully extended arm still holding on clearly visible.

I meant to post this yesterday and it could go in a few different long-running threads involving jocks and rides and decisions, but I think I saw a first in the seventh race at Turf Paradise.
Jockey Glenn Corbett, riding favored Patience of a Saint for trainer Ariel Gordon and owner Carol Stubbs, takes a little abuse between horses late in the race and winds up fourth. He lodges an objection against the runner-up for interference, and that horse is eventually disqualified and placed behind Patience of a Saint.
The connections of the disqualified horse? Ariel Gordon and Carol Stubbs. The rider objection moved them from second and fourth to third and fourth, officially.
Remember that as a bettor. If you bet on Corbett, he'll get mad enough at an infraction to claim foul against the connections he is riding for. Here's your racetrack anti-conspiracy for the day to put you in a more confident wagering mood.

Corbett probably had the tri with him off the board, told the other rider to claim foul

Another bad DQ in SoCal in my opinion putting up Bolt d'Oro.

Yep they take him down for carrying a horse out near the wire, but ignore him getting clobbered turning for home

Yeah have to agree on the bad call. They both did a little something. Bolt coming off the turn and Mckinzie in the final 1/16th. I thought they would let it stand.

the three blind mice in socal, no one is shocked.
almost get unseated and then your dq'd for a brush at the end
it was so definitive that it took 20 minutes to decide. at least it happened in a minor race and not like the BC Classic.

The way that race was ruled, I have to think that had Bolt D'oro won, he would've been DQ'd as well. Kind of silly to think.
Rooting for both horses to keep moving forward on the Triple Crown trail.

Great race with 2 solid horses laying it down only to be ruined by the stewards.
