if 'the little guy' could weigh in on this part, that would be cool. love his stuff on the fox show, plus an opinion from someone from a major circuit, and not associated with the mount would help.

I don't honestly have an opinion on what influence, if any, a rider has. In my opinion, the Stewards should never speak to them, as they should be able to adjudicate it properly themselves. It seems pretty clear that was a foul and there is a real chance it cost the runner up the race. That should be enough.
I have no idea why some Stewards seem to make some of the choices they do. Anyone that has been around this game a long time has pretty much seen it all as far as their decisions go.
