Similar situation of a horse breaking in the stretch while leading in the race. The driver James Macdonald does the right thing by taking the horse to the outside and pulling his horse while two other horses pass him by and the subject horse Carter Michael Deo the favorite in the race ends up third. The 4th horse is lengths away so the question of him being lapped upon simply does not arise.
Yet the judges in their best wisdom decide to DQ the horse and placed him last from 3rd.
The reason as contained in the AQCO report of June 30
Race 2- Inquiry- #7 “Carter Michael Deo” (J MacDonald) finished 3rdplaced 7thfor being offstride for more than 25 strides (extended break)
