If the stewards review the race, ask the questions expected of them and get a satisfactory response, that would be good enough for me. All any of us want is consistency in their rulings and transparency in their methods of arriving at them.
I sent an e-mail to Sam on an unrelated matter on the HRNSW webpage "Just ask Sam" but did not glean a response. Brenno and Greg Hando were much more informative and timely in regard to swabbing cost breakdowns - thanks fellas.
