In the long run, I'd like to see a move away from assistant starters being needed in the gate and go more towards the model used in many other jurisdictions.
Put that in place, return to "a foul is a foul" disqualifications (call it category 3 for lack of a better term - end many of the judgment calls) including right at the start, and I'd be a happier horseplayer. (And no I didn't have Shared Belief.)
