And the problem is that if the same thing happens in a maiden race next Friday, the winner will come down and there is no explaination from the stewards. They should be forced to make public a document regarding every inquiry or claim of foul with the rule stated in the case of a takedown or the reasoning behind a no call. This is a easily accomplished solution to a tricky problem in the perception issue of racing. While there will always be disagreements in judgement situations it would at the very least force some accountability in the stewards stand, make them actually know what rules they are supposed to be enforcing and add transparency to the process while costing nothing more than ink and paper. Naturally this will never happen.
