I imagine the stewards would argue that Rab should have taken a pull as soon as the gap began to close as he was still 1/2 length behind but he's
done the opposite and tried to push through a gap that was no longer there. Was he wrong to do that.obviously they thought yes

But Crowly saw him and played dirty and that alone derved a ban.....and then look at what happened and how close it came to severe injury to both horse and rider.

While you could argue in the interest of safety Rab should have pulled his horse back but that doesn't change the fact Crowley was the one playing dirty.
