unhinged 86 Report post Posted September 10 2 hours ago, drove a few said: Some drivers will make sure they get in someone's way if they break, there by making a false start. And those drivers should have the book thrown at them , I have seen horse's deliberately run into and almost go down , as an owner I'd feel like punching the driver on the snout.

Lincoln1 40 Report post Posted September 16 Can’t expect to pull the whole field up because your pick had no manners. What about the punters who’s horses do behave but then get stirred up due to a false start ?

ivanthegreat 1,133 Report post Posted September 20 I'm sensitized to the whole false start decision............. ever since the National Mile at Alex Park circa 1973. I had a tip for a horse called ROBALAN who was paying about 8's from memory. Mobile dispatches with ROBALAN in a break........... same rules didn't break any gear !!! O'h shit it doesn't wear any it's free legged. Did my dough again. Horse won it's next 9 I think Charlie E 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie E 153 Report post Posted September 20 The rules are quite clear unless there is broken gear or it interfere's with another horse they will keep going . Back in the day we used to swerve to check another horse so they called a false start . I feel for you though has happened to me too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took Ricky May in the drivers challenge the day he had a heart attack . He was well clear in front and still had good drives to go and definitely would have won . Well did my dough , so happy Ricky was ok but they could have refunded us but nope . Typical TAB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
