Although I plead guilty to being a vocal complainer about the Morning Lines, I respectfully disagree with Jimbo66. I think it is a close call as to who is having a worse meet as between the Linemaker and the Stewards.
Also, I think the Stewards are in a position to do far worse damage than the linemaker can, no matter how bad he is.
Although I am quite unhappy about the Morning Line situation, I think there is no question that the problems with the stewards should be a higher priority.
Can anybody figure out what they are saying in their published decision on the Sword Dancer? Here is a link to it --

Maybe I am a poor reader or lacking in reasoning skills, but I cannot for the life of me understand what the reason is that they made the decision they made.
At least in the 4stardave, I could understand what they were saying -- it was pure Lewis Carroll, but at least it was comprehensible.
