eljay 1,711 Report post Posted January 10, 2021 You contradict (sort of) yourself - you say ban stands EXCEPT for big races. So how do those in big races get stand practice against a field if you ban them The two things you need to improve upon is 1) being tougher on hrses who consistently don'e go away from a stand and 2) the human element i.e. drivers who cheat by either trying to get a timed run up or delay the start and the performance of the starters. Simple!! Easy to improve isn't it - when (way back lol) never had these problems!! Navitas 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay 1,711 Report post Posted January 10, 2021 Oh yes, trainers have to play their part (presumably what they paid for by the owner) educating horses from young age and not to rely on "I'm to busy to spend time on that" and "Hope it will handle the start" Iraklis 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ Flash 2,115 Report post Posted March 21, 2021 ARCHMAN - broke in the score up losing all chance. Authorisation of placings was withheld until Driver K Newman had an opportunity to review the score up in relation to whether his horse had been denied a fair start when being crowded in the score up. After reviewing the replays Stewards acting under Rule 213(1)(j) deemed the horse a non-runner. Stewards spoke with Starter P Lamb regarding this incident. Mr Lamb explained that in his opinion the horse had not suffered sufficient interference to warrant calling a False Start and so allowed the start. Up to his old tricks. How did he not get reprimanded let alone fined for his latest F up when the JCA declared the runner in question a non starter Navitas 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
