barryb 2,062 Report post Posted April 26, 2018 Wow that was a sickening sight, leader was home for all money (Troy Harris), fell and took out half the following field. Hope riders are all ok, certainly a few of the runners weren't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdytdy 5,335 Report post Posted April 26, 2018 All riders appear ok thank goodness Barry. I had backed Guess Who at $8.50FF and was counting the winnings when he broke down badly after going clear and fell with two subsequently crashing over him.

barryb 2,062 Report post Posted April 26, 2018 So did I Ted, it was a first leg in a Multi for me as well. Heard Bevan say that only Guess Who was euthanised, Raaj did look pretty much gone to me also, but maybe it was just muscular.

Ohokaman 5,759 Report post Posted April 26, 2018 Raaj was ok, just a bit sore. Soldier Field also ok....he was my quinella. Just heard TAB is paying out Win and Place on Guess Who.....nice gesture..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdt 291 Report post Posted April 26, 2018 I think I heard it right, the TAB are paying out on Guess Who. Very nice gesture if this is the case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted April 26, 2018 I took it to win in trifectas and miss out on a collect.... but have no problem with what the TAB have done. I think they should be congratulated in fact. Precedent is one thing - but it is discretionary on their behalf and I give them a pat on the back (tough luck offshore wise though Barry). also wouldn't be annoyed in the future if they didn't do it - bit like the Bosson thing for me - fact they did something generous in the past doesnt mean they have to all the time in the future... talk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue 1,080 Report post Posted April 26, 2018 Very rare case. I don't think it sets any precedent. They'll be doing this through gritted teeth. NZ TAB don't do anything in good spirit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small consolation Bazza,anything that ends in death is ratshit wether it’s at the 100 or halfway down the back.

barryb 2,062 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 What the fark are you on Gooseman. Firstly, Lewis Road happened at the 600 mark, last time I was at that bird shit ridden dive there was no grandstand at that position, no other runners fell because of Lewis Road either.. They are entirely different situations as well & for your uneducated information I used the word “horrific” in the thread title which even for a basic person like yourself would indicate I had big concerns for Rider and Horse.
