Taku Umanga 194 Report post Posted May 13, 2018 Was wondering why the video for this particular trial was not online ....... Driver G Smith (BRONX VILLAGE) was fined $750 by the JCA after admitting a breach of Rule 869(2) for using his whip to strike another runner (REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY) near the 200 metres during Race 12 at the North Canterbury TOA meeting on 9 May 2018.

Taku Umanga 194 Report post Posted May 14, 2018 Wasn't asking a question - noted that the video wasn't up then read the RIU report which explained it ..... must've been a bad look with him being the trainer of both the horse he was driving and the horse that he struck with the whip!

Not sure I understand the comment. Would have been a lot less acceptable if he hit another trainers horse. Would have to assume that his young, inexperienced stable driver wasn't getting the best out of her one so he tried to help. Not saying he should have done it but picking there's not a whole lot to see here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taku Umanga 194 Report post Posted May 14, 2018 If "there's not a whole lot to see" why was he even fined, and why is the video of this particular heat the only one not available? Fartoomuch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably introducing the horse he hit to raceday conditions. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
