You keep trying to set up a straw man here. The job of the stewards is to;
1 Stay out of the picture as much as possible.
2 Use good judgment when they are forced to act.
They didn't do that here. Anyone who saw the race knows that Rahy's Appeal was much the best. There's an old saying (often misquoted) that a FOOLISH consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. Yes, we can't have jockeys striking other horses with their whips. But, in this particular case, it had absolutely no bearing on the outcome. Therefore, the outcome should have been left alone.
