That's the key point. His boot hit the hock of the horse in the run to the judge. Not at the start! It is akin to a bloody hard over head whip hit. -

Well I see what you're saying regarding consistency. And agree, it would be great if all Penalties were universal. especially for horrific crime. but it just doesn't happen. it's case by case assessed. But the truth is in law courts and sporting events as well , the local governing body, judge, stipe panel, revue panel, all assess and penalize as they see fit at the time. with whatever misdemeanor happened. It may always causes some consternation as some serious offenders get off light. and some like Nigel McGrath or Phil Coulson get a huge penalty of seven years DQ each when others are at 1-2 years for milkshaking or even a fine for caffiene. New Zealand leading NZ trainers the Dunns had 4 horses disqualified with positives for Caffiene 2017 and got off with a small fine , where-as Phil Coulson , one of the greatest WA horseman ever (and a hall of famer inductee) was given SEVEN years DQ . and Junior's Image disqualified for Caffiene positive swab a week after winning the Interdominion Grand Final at Christchurch when it was nobbled. some things don't work out well (for some) regarding rules of racing. or even in a court of law. (depends who's on duty lol ) All the cobalt cases are looked at on a case by case basis. different penalties are dished up all the time for different cases. Probably would be great if all the same , but they're not. Moran is different to the NZ situation(s) and QLD situation regarding the dropped foot. he drove on with a leg down in a tight race-winning situation. Let's say we look at Race Day treatments. Some trainers might get one year, and others 6 months, and it might come down to prior history, warnings, first time infringements , mitigating circumstances , all sorts of things for assessing what penalty to give. Not sure what they did with Emma Stewart that time , maybe 6 months?. Kiwi Lad Jack Trainor is out at the moment DQed (Grimson sidekick) but shouldn't be looking at what others got for similar offence as each case is slightly unique , and dealt with and penalized accordingly . just quietly I don't think the horse Captain Hammerhead should of been DQed , but Moran himself should of been sanctioned as the Penalty, in agreement with your assessment, but it is what it is, and the Penalty given Makes an impact, and hopefully we won't see it happen again. (driver boot hitting horses hind legs/hooves ) any time soon. Stewards have discretionary powers when it comes to Penalty, like a magistrate. so operate as such. that's life. .. -
