“It’s clear to me that women who haven’t ridden in a significant number of real races should never be stewards. I really wonder how many races this chief steward had even watched in person before she was appointed to her position.”
I think this qualifier should apply to ALL stewards! People who haven’t ridden or trained in a large number of races should not be allowed to make decisions of this magnitude!
Gee, I wasn’t aware that only jockeys become stewards.
