Heavyweight hero 14 Report post Posted October 19, 2017 read on the JCA website a successful charge against junior driver M Anderson for wearing a helmet with a repaired chin strap, taken by chief RIU (HR) steward Nick Ydgren. Part quote of the rule "All starters, starters assistants, crash crew members and any persons working with/amongst horses must wear helmets up to drivers standards" When is RIU investigator, RIU steward and STARTER P Lamb going to be charged for continuing to ignore this rule? One rule for all surely'!!!!! Happy Sunrise 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would argue he is not on the course proper so not amongst horses or working with. A convenient interpretation. As usual, rules don't apply to the enforcers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, rules don't apply to the enforcers When the horses are milling around at the 1950m assembly points, ie. by the stabling exit/ entrance to the track Mr Lamb is always amongst the horses and do recall at times he has definitely not been wearing a helmet. Must also point out also some media folk don't often wear them too. Happy Sunrise 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Educate them, then warn them and then fine them. No double standards would be good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
