And Melbourne isn’t the only place that had problems last Saturday. In Sydney the visiting Kiwi galloper Hasselhoof can be seen in live footage clearly hitting his head on the top of the barrier stalls, but he wasn’t removed and vetted and scratched. He was just left in the barriers and the field was dispatched pretty much straight away when he was back on all fours. It is my considered opinion that irrespective of any horse’s price, the horse should mandatorily be scratched, but in the case of Hasselhoof it was inexcusable, as he was the $3.80 favourite and carried a fortune in bets. What is wrong with all these so called “great racing administrators” and “top stewards” that we have in Australia? They attend conferences both in Australia and globally and cannot come up with the fact that nationwide we need to invoke a racing rule that states, “A horse hitting its head on the barrier stalls is to be deemed a late scratching – no exceptions”.
