Maybe that would be too many inquiries for one group to judge, so perhaps they could have one for each section of the country - east, midwest and west.
At least we might get some consistency.

Here is the problem with that. Baseball has 1 set of rules that apply to every team and the rules are mostly cut and dry. The rules in horse racing when in comes to objections/inquiries are vey ambiguous.
If there were 1 set of rules for all jurisdictions, they were clearly defined and adhered to then the idea would appeal to me. It would not be perfect but much better than we have now.
