Taku Umanga 160 Report post Posted January 13, 2019 The starters assistants should have had the equipment to assist at the start. No headstall and no lead rope on hand meant that a junior driver was left holding a fractious horse alongside a fence for the duration of the race and was battered and bruised as a result. Absolutely disgusting! 2 what a post and Thejanitor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
