Stewards' Inquiry

A Stewards' Inquiry is a review conducted by racing officials to examine whether a race has been run fairly and according to the rules. It typically happens if there's a concern about possible interference, rule violations, or objections from trainers or jockeys. The stewards analyze video evidence and race data, then decide whether any adjustments, penalties, or disqualifications are necessary to ensure the integrity of the race. This process helps maintain fairness and trust in the sport by ensuring all competitors adhere to established standards.
