No offense intended, but as to what you say Serling says, why can't that be read to mean - people with experience with the NYRA Stewards know that they are idiots so they expect them to do idiotic things? Not sure that helps matters. Not sure the relevance of Tom Amoss's view of what they would do or say in Kentucky, but at least in Kentucky they revoke Stewards licenses (see John Veitch). Would be nice if New York adopted that practice and put it into use.
I am curious why people are defending these idiots? Nobody is coming to Travis Stone's defense and he is hardly guilty of bad intent (only incompetence). These Stewards in the best case are incompetent and could easily be worse.
