According to the timing I did using the video, Brennan slowed enough so as to cause drivers behind his horse to be concerned to the point where they either had to slow suddenly or alter course.
If it was just one driver who took up sharply, I'd say too bad for falling asleep at the helm.
But it appeared to me that several drivers had to either take up somewhat or alter course.

I appreciate you quoting the specific rules pertaining to this apparent foul but lets be honest many judges and stewards decisions are very inconsistent. Not just track to track but within the same racetrack. What is ruled a foul today, isn't a foul tomorrow. I'm part of the crowd that believes if it's not clear cut, leave it alone and judging by the amount of time this inquiry took, it was anything but clear cut.
