Yes, after you finish the survey it has the number of survey takers and their answers by percentage for each question.

I chose the least popular answer that a foul is a foul regardless of whether it alters the final placing. Fouls can cause accidents that can endanger the horses and riders, even if they do not affect the order of finish and reckless "race riding" should be strongly discouraged.

In addition, the stewards are not psychics and cannot tell for sure how much they will affect the horses involved.

Loved this exercise- interesting results as well. Funny how different stakeholders have different opinions. The question regarding the 'philosophy' on interference overwhelmingly wanted stewards judgement to steer their decisions. a bit different form most sentiments I've read on this board

Great thread and topic. But, as I've said before, the demand for consistency on DQ calls can be a trap. Since no two incidents are quite alike, consistently good JUDGEMENT is what should be asked of stewards. I could elaborate considerably, but no desire to hijack or alter the course of your thread, sir.

I was not surprised to see that "Customer" was not one of the choices.

That seems to me to be the underlying problem with racing.

Neither really mean customer.

I am a fan of football but not a customer.
The guy selling tip sheets is a handicapper.

CUSTOMER is a special relationship.

I chose to ignore the survey after that.
If they have to ask if we want common rules and decisions, there is no point taking them seriously to begin with.

In another month or so, I will probably not be a customer of horse racing anymore, then I can take the survey!
