"Our steward who observes gear was rostered on Thursday and checked several sulkies, which all cleared, his next rostered meeting just happened to be Ballarat on Saturday night, which had nothing to do with who was at the track and who wasn’t.”

Shouldn't all stewards observe gear? If there is only one 'specializing?' in that area, a trainer or driver wanting to try something outside the rules could wait until he is not officiating. I do not think this has been the case with the over sized sulkies - just pointing out a massive gap. I simply don't buy the excuse for there being no measuring done on Friday, nor the lack of communication/warning from stewards to participants
