I offered that question as a way of explaining what stewards look at while conducting an inquiry.

DTer's can respond however they see fit. Quizzically, vituperations, conspiracy theories, attacking integrity. Whatever.

None of those responses is productive. But if you must that's cool.

I'm trying to contribute by sharing how the stewarding process works. Nuts and bolts. Day to day protocol.

I'll say this again.

When viewing the replays from every possible angle. When it comes to placings. DQ or no DQ. Stewards are looking at the HORSES. What the jockey's are doing on those horses doesn't factor into the decision.

The jockey's actions are a separate consideration the next morning at film review.

I wish I knew how to make that more clear.

That's how it works.

If you think that's stupid. Of course you're entitled to that opinion.

That doesn't change how the process works.
