I can't speak of horse racing myself, but I have seen plenty of calls in the NFL that either should have been called, were called but ify, and others that were non calls because the refs saw both players doing the same thing.
If anyone does understand the call in this race, feel free to explain it too me.

You're not allowed to bang your horse into another horse, which is what happened. If you were leading in a footrace and tripped the person running second, you'd be disqualified. Same thing.

I kinda figured that, but the funny thing is, all the clips I saw after the fact on the news, I really couldn't see it. I am sure that is only because it happens so fast and I am not used to watching the sport. Would also explain all the fights in NASCAR when someone gets bumped.
Kinda like in pass interference in the NFL, sometimes it happens so fast you don't see it real time till they slow it down in the replay. I get what you are saying. But the funny thing is in all the clips I saw in the news, none of them got put in slow motion. I mean only the ones I saw.
Yea I get it now, and safety wise it makes sense to call it, because the other Jockey could fall off and get trampled.
