I don't know you and therefore don't know if your comment is tongue in cheek but those who for some reason agree with the stewards or the Baffert camp -- you are in the minority opinion. The ESPN link sums up my feelings.

For instance, what if the roles were reversed and Moreno wiped out Bayern? Bayern would have probably lost by double digit lengths too (probably not 40+ though). He probably would have been disqualified as well since the trainer is not local.

With pace pressure Bayern is a common animal. Baffert knows that and he will retire him eventually for exactly the same reason he retired Game On Dude. Neither could pass a horse.
