I'd have to imagine that incident is going to be addressed down the road after an audit. It certainly appears highly to be unsanctioned behavior.

Also, with the money and influence at stake on that silly race the stewards are going to be forced to do something I'm sure. Doesn't help the jockey or owner that the proof is on Twitter with 40k views as of this post.
