So maybe the Stewards, even thought they are
blind (I learned that here) have a difficult job sometimes.

They become especially bad if they make, or do not
make, a decision that costs one money.

Between battlin drugs, jockeys, stewards, and trainers
this game is difficult. Other than a few minor blips
its so peachy simple.

Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes,
well sometimes the bar eats you....
- forgot who said that.

Then I guess the Steward mystery is solved.
It is a tough job?

Given the varying opinions on this board, I don't think there was anything "easy" about this one. And when that's the case, they should err on the side of leaving the horse up.

Fine, that's your opinion; it doesn't make the rest of ours any less valid.

I didn't see the race either, but I'll always root for the 15 dollar horse to stay up over the 70 cent chalk.
