Incorrect decisions are and will continue to be made as long as horses are running year-round on the North American continent.
Do I find it acceptable, no can't say that I do. Do I find it probable, yes, due to the number of races run and human error being fallible. Baseball umpires make errors-bad calls, as do other referees in sports. The difference being, their calls can be challenged. Stewards, rarely are.
As far as your pick 6 question, I know it is heartbreaking, as a friend had the only live ticket late one afternoon in Saratoga, wherein he would've taken down the entire pool, but for the fact that his final selection was dqed
by the stewards.
