That is way too subject to abuse. After reading your further posts, I believe a easy solution is simply better stewards. There is a misconception, because they are for the most part hidden from the public eye, that all stewards are some esteemed, knowledgeable, judge-like individuals that have a firm grasp of racings rules. Nothing could be further from the truth.
