its a shame that an owner, a trainer and many bettors lost out because of a riders reputation. there has to be a better way to deal with poor riding tactics. if the horse didnt lose a placing due to another jock, what justification can there be for a change in order? saying thats life is no explanation. its in everyones best interest that stewards get it right. there needs to be protocol and it needs to be followed, with consequences for incorrect calls.
