You may not like or agree with that. But I can assure you that's the way the vast majority of stewards do it.

You're certainly entitled to think it's preposterous.

However that is how the process works.

I know this is hard to grasp for the average horseplayer.

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

I don't understand why that is so hard to grasp?

Congrats. You've swept in and have taken trolling to a whole new stratospheric level.

This "Average Horseplayer" hasn't wagered more than 50 bucks in California since Hollywood Park closed and I have doubts as to whether I'll ever play the circuit regularly, ever again. Thankfully, I now understand the "stewards process" there, all too well.

You play a game of semantics, saying the same thing over and over in a different way to troll the thread. Hope you got a good chuckle out of insulting the very people that keep this "sport" afloat. You're a fine ambassador.
