AP Cancels/Un-Cancels Stakes Race

"Upon learning of the initial cancellation, Arlington stewards contacted the Illinois Racing Board, but the board decided not to stand in the way of the cancellation."

??? Obviously stewards have tremendous power but why are they in the middle of the track and the board on something like this???

Stewards don't have any input on moving races off the turf or other track changes, do they? If so, I wonder where you would find this in the PPs.
