I will admit that I don't know anything about horse racing. With that said I watched this and really felt like it was wrong. The horse that won did appear to impede several other horses but there was no clear evidence that the horse that was given the win was impeded by any horse. They seemed to win because of the affect on other horses that might have won and because they are the ones that filed an appeal. But it is over and done with.
