It is the duty of the stewards to determ ine the winner of each race and the order of finish for each of the remaining horses in the race. In case of a difference of opinion among the stewards, the majority opinion shall govern. In determining places at the finish of a race, the stewards shall consider only the noses of the placing horses. The stewards may correct errors in their determination of the placing of horses at the finish before the display of the official sign, or if the official sign has been displayed in error, after that display. If the display is in error, no person is entitled to any proceeds of the pari-mutuel pool on account of such error. At the conclusion of each racing day, the stewards shall file with the commission a copy of the official placement of horses with the names of the first four horses finishing in each race of that day. The stewards shall provide other racing information within their observation or records upon the request of any official of the association or the commission. The stewards' decision on the race is final.
