They made the right call in this case. The runner-up was slightly coming in at the same time the winner was coming out. I think the runner-up was partially at fault.

I disagree. Contact was made and initiated by the winner. Obviously the contact made more than a nose difference in race decided by said nose.

Agree with this one. One was coming in a little, one was coming out, I think the horse coming in actually banged into the inside horse's rear which made the inside react sharply & sideways. For all the CA stewards do to drive people nuts, this was not one of those times.

I must be watching a different race because the exact opposite happened. The outside horse was knocked off stride when the inside horse came out 2 paths.

It was ever so slight but at the key moment when the winner was coming over, the runner-up slid to the inside. Just enough to keep the result as was.
Now, I challenge you to watch EVD Race 8 on 8/3 (which I posted above) and tell me if that DQ is overreaching. The race was decided when the infraction occurred and it was an obvious non-dq but they dq'd the winner anyway.

If you want to see an example of a country with crookeder racing than here in the states, check out the 5th race at Muswellbrook in Australia tonight (Australia 5C). No protest (inquiry), no disqualifcation, nothing. Australia goes on my Sam Houston list.

So they had a race Sunday night. Maybe a 12 horse field. Gates open half way through load. Of the six or so that ran off they scratched two only because the jockeys fell off. The other four started.
This may shock you but the winner was a horse who had not loaded when the incident happened.

Right, so why even bother, just dismiss anything immediately in move on. Seems odds it is always Baffert horses involved...or maybe that is just me.

I had the #7 in the 3rd at Saratoga. Do I feel like I got screwed? Damn right.
