"Starting today at Saratoga Race Course and continuing at Belmont Park and Aqueduct Racetrack, the stewards’ race-day decisions involving the official order of finish will be communicated via the simulcast feed and will also be posted to NYRA.com.

Directly following any decision they make having to do with the official order of finish, including inquiries and objections, the stewards – one appointed by The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA), one appointed by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board (NYSRWB), and one appointed by The Jockey Club (TJC) – will provide an explanation of what happened and the reason for their decision."

This is a great initiative which should be in place everywhere.
