I project figures for a lot of horses, so when there is trouble I go to watch and see how much or how little of an impact I think it had.

A decade ago, it was pretty common that a chart caller would make it clear if he disagreed with a steward's decision. Today, not nearly as much. Do you disagree? I can't remember a single one recently.
Wouldnt you say the vast majority of DQ's are pretty clear cut as to what happened? Especially since the camera's are so much better than they used to be?
