So it is ok to break the rules as long as you win by a lot?

Well some rules are good  but the judges are inconsistent

I've always liked the T-Bred ruling where they don't take a horse down based on "did not cost the runner a better placing".

Terrible idea. It would promote more aggressive/risky driving & put both horses & drivers at a greater risk than they already are.
