V J S NEEED YOUR OPINION All DTER'S PLEASE READ AND RESPOND

Camera angles should be a main issue. I believe there should be better camera angles for inquiry purposes especialy on the far turn.

There's no legitimate argument AGAINST the stewards explaining their decisions. The more transparency, the better. For once the best interest of the bettors should be considered.

A simple explanation is what I would like. Although the winning horse interfeared with the horse that finished 3rd, we believe it did not effect the final placings, etc...If they review it, they should tell you what they are looking at, and why they changed or did not change the result. It really can be done in 2-3 sentences.

Thank you for asking!

I think it can only help with relaying why the stewards make the decisions that they do. If they did explain it, along with showing the replay while they're doing it, it will help in a few ways.
1. it will make things more transparent
2. will show the race fans both at the track and at home that they're trying to be consistant (which I do believe that they are)
3. I agree with Scav with saying that it'll show that the stewards are behind their decision
4. They should also announce why if a claim of foul or inquiry why they would NOT take a horse down.

Having this happen whenever there's an inquiry or claim of foul (DQ or not) would only help the game and the public's perception of it.

I am for hearing the reasoning behind a stewards decision though I think a written statement may be more effective than an announcement. Especially so if the rule which was violated was shown because very few have access or fully understand the rules of racing and how they differ in different jurisdictions.
