Cant believe my eyes Mikes Girl won fair and square and was always going to win. American stewards overturned in favour of the favourite.
Minimal contact, second never stopped riding.

Yeah, by the rules that one should have stood as the impeded horse final position was not affected. It's a bit of a lottery with the US Racing it seems the stewards can swing either way on a whim.
Just watched replays. From side on it didn't look too bad but the head on is another story. The demoted horse twice bumped the
other runner, having veered sharply left late on. In the US their rules give the benefit of the doubt to the impeded horse.
They will let the result stand only if it is perfectly clear that the second could not have won. In this case the severity of the
bumping, evident from the head on, left the stews little choice.
