What if they do their very best to control yet their horse doesn't respond and still fouls another horse?

Should the stewards leave the result alone just because the jockey gave his best effort?

Nope (I can't believe you seriously asked that question or are you just playing devils advocate)

I know this is hard to grasp for the average horseplayer. I had to learn it myself. To separate.

However, that's the way it works.

That's why we get these farcical results and that is why stewards looked upon as morons at best and corrupt at worse. Results that threaten the perceived integrity of the sport. Status Quo is why racing is considered a dying sport.
