Sounds like Stewards suck in France too

I agree. Can't possibly understand why it took an hour to sort it out. Should have taken no more than 5 minutes.

As far as the French in general, I wouldn't be too hard them. The one thing that they do very well is produce some very fine race horses and excellent horsemen/women.

And their racecourses are second to none. We have Saratoga as our "jewel" of racing, yet they have mid-level tracks that surpass Saratoga.
