mulebacker 43 Report post Posted March 25, 2022 Hawera R2 South road shifted out about 10 miles into the path of Lochwinnoch who was clearly going to win under his acceleration and momentum No Inquiry No Nothing But then Clayton had to get his 100 in that race I watched that race with 4 other long term enthusiasts and everyone said it was clearly interference If you dont call that taking a horses line - what does Corrupt little sport indeed - Stewrds vision takes 5 days or conviniently gets lost in these races Saving Racing - Try startunnf by saving racing from itself The monopoly TAB gouging Divis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We're Doomed 4,855 Report post Posted March 25, 2022 I just watched the race. I think there would have been just as much controversy if they had changed the placings. I don't know if there was an enquiry or anything. The second horse didn't actually get carted over much extra ground and the margin at the end was probably more than half a length. If it had been a nose or head there may have been a case to look more closely at it. Aaron Bidlake 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idolmite 2,531 Report post Posted March 25, 2022 Just watched it too, including the head on. I think there should have been an inquiry. Not sure it warranted a change of the placing however. I don't think the runner up was ever going to get there. The winner maybe shifted out "10 miles", but it didn't interfere with anything but fresh air for the first 9.5 miles.

Still surprised the stewards didn't take a second look at it though, but had they have done so and come up with a relegation of the winner, it would have been a travesty.
