When I was there I would have to remind the TV Dept to show real time replay views to the public while the Stewards deliberated.
I'm not positive but I doubt they told TV not to show anything.
Was there any explanation by the announcer after the decision of why the DQ was made?

Not a thing. It was so freaking bizarre. Went from seeing kids playing on swings to the flashing numbers to the new order of finish with no replays in-between. I know the money aspect is all relative but having had a few hundred to win on Lundberg/#5, and it being a mid-4 figure swing, I am pretty mad about how this was handled. I'm not the only one as I searched Twitter soon after the race and others were just as angry (even those who didn't have the #5, agreed with your response from yesterday that the horse should have stayed up). I've seen way worse stay up... way way way worse. Also... one more thing.. the stewards inquiry came down, then a minute later the objection was lodged and from there it took 10 minutes for the stewards to make a decision. That seemed a bit long.
