DTer's can respond however they see fit. Quizzically, vituperations, conspiracy theories, attacking integrity. Whatever.

None of those responses is productive. But if you must that's cool.

I'm trying to contribute by sharing how the stewarding process works. Nuts and bolts. Day to day protocol.

I'll say this again.

When viewing the replays from every possible angle. When it comes to placings. DQ or no DQ. Stewards are looking at the HORSES. What the jockey's are doing on those horses doesn't factor into the decision.

The jockey's actions are a separate consideration the next morning at film review.

I wish I knew how to make that more clear.

That's how it works.

If you think that's stupid. Of course you're entitled to that opinion.

That doesn't change how the process works.

That's what we love about you Vic. You probably don't even know that statement is condescending and insults the intelligence of quite a few people on this board. It is quite easy to understand the process that you are explaining to us. I would say nearly everyone on this board understands what you are saying. When we say it is nonsensical to not look at the operator of the vehicle (in this case the horse) as part of the process you come back with a comment that we don't understand the process. We understand the process and are pointing out the process is horrible and sticking with a broken process simply because that has been the way it has been done would get you fired in 500 out of 500 Forturne 500 companies. Now please don't insult my intelligence again on how I don't understand the process.
