CA has a rule in place, basically stating... that if half the field doesn't finish, then the race becomes a no contest.
So if DE doesn't have a rule like that in the books, I say it was the right call

The one loose horse caused some interference in the stretch as well, and it could even be argued the outriders did too trying to reel in the loose horse.
Stewards made the race official. You have got to be kidding me.
