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.

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.

Probably introducing the horse he hit to raceday conditions. ?
