Correct decisions and incorrect decisions are made each day by stewards reviewing races. We'll be pleased with some, irrate with others.

The greater problem to me, here, in this particular case, is one of culpability, neither jockey admitting his actions as wrongful and dangerous.

It is not unlike two 3rd graders before the principal whining,

"he did it,"

"did not, he did it first"

"did not."

Both get detention, as in this particular incident. Problem is . . . its a much greater risk, a far more possibly disastrous outcome, when your weapon is a 1200 lb animal.

I would imagine a stewards job more difficult when and if this occurs.
