Gruff

Extortion

Recommended Posts

The horse was going past the Heavily backed Superdonna before things got a little cramped before the winning post running in as the leader Coretto moved out more abruptly before the line. Was Superdonna a Certainty beat? Looked to have ample opportunity if good enough and the head on from the Love Racing site cuts out before showing any contact, count the number of times McKay used the Whip, more than Collett and Yanagida combined. Would of been another slightly  unlucky runner who became lucky in the Room 🙄

When it takes an hour+ to make a decision you just know it's going to be dubious

As you say Gruff, Extortion went past eventual winner so the ricochet initiated by inside runner should have given benefit of the doubt to Extortion

They showed the full  head on later on after they abandoned the meeting.

It was more convincing that both horses squeezed Superdonna and at that poiint appeared  Extortion and Superdonna were on terms.

Agree though not 100% Superdonna would have won IMO. .. and that is the rule....you have to convince the judicials your horse would  certainly have won without the interference

To be fair Corretto also checked Superdonna at the start

I'm pleased to see someone mentioned this, I thought everyone was too busy following the quinella comp. I thought it was a very surprising result. The winner ran past the protesting horse and knocked it as it went by. There was nothing to indicate the 3rd horse would have won the race if everyone had kept a straight line.

You really have no idea what is going to happen with some of these protests. The decisions are so inconsistent. Unlike Rugby and league, no one ever comes out afterwards and says the officials might have made a mistake on the day. It wasn't as if they were under any time pressure, unless they were keen to head to the bar.

50/50 Tough decision. 🤔

50/50 should make it easy defined by the rules, no change 🙁

3) For the purpose of this Rule 876, "interference" is defined as:
(i) a horse crossing, or jostling with, another horse so as to interfere
with that, or any other horse; or
(ii) a horse itself, or its Rider, in any way interfering with another horse
or its Rider.

Sorry guys , but where did Extortion touch SuperDonna ??

Or is intimidation now a cause for protest ??

About 25 metres from the finish. Both horses cannoned into Superdonna at the same time.

The head on showed it.
