Dissident 155 Report post Posted July 15, 2020 My initial thoughts too, from the angle of the footage I saw anyway. Stewards report will be worth a look when its up.Ā Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the race film of the race on NZTR from 2.20- 2.44 section. The Villain came out four times onto Bonjour in the run home. TheĀ bump at the 100m mark (start of the red rail) was a decent one with the rider of Bonjour having to stop riding out his horse and remember the margin was only a nose.

Ā If Teen Titan had held out Tunzagutz a few races later he would have lost it in to room too. Same scenario. Watch Tegan Newman on the winner Tunzagutz from the turn... was a brave tough ride from the young apprentice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruff 2,778 Report post Posted July 15, 2020 Any contact can be just as detrimental to the instigator, its a winter slog theres always more movement . If this was enough to turnĀ the decision we are in for a long winter. The head on may show contact but the side on shows nothing lost in translation, and the rider swapped the whip from the left hand prior. No change right decisionĀ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
