what do you think of the decision workrider. think the french jockey did a good job on the stewards personally. for him to say hed have won esy if he hadnt been slightly carried over was a bit economical with the truth imo. he never stopped riding an had enough time to get past. a hard call but i think they got it wrong personally.

no santa right decision imo . i have been saying for years this reading of rules by british stewards is totally to protect bookmakers paying double result imo, therefore affecting the levy .some of the decisions have been amazing over the past couple of years ,i'm amazed no jockey has been badly injured by their fellow jockeys riding to win at all cost knowing they wont get thrown out ,hopefully this decision will now change things for the better .

queally thought he could get away with it-hence the transference of whip-and bully the french horse across-a fair tactic at folkstone for example
took the horse over half the track ffs
a no brainer if you apply the rules-its out
sadly the rules dont always get applied

co, really showing your lack of intelligence their mate , thats my whole point they should be overturning more results , but they wont it costs the bookie's money ,hopefully you'll understand that you prize tool :)
Report CO-TRAPSING May 2, 2010 6:00 PM BST
...er So they'll want to keep a result that'll save em 10s of thousands but change a result that costs em £4m? The Newmarket stewards got it right. It isn't there fault that others aren't so good.

British racing is controlled by the big 3 bookmakers and the boys from the middle east................1 got it's way today.......congrats Prince Abdullah.

co/ trapsing, my point is that if results are changed , i.e. the way the french overturn races on a regular basis, the bookies pay double result so lose and it effects the levy .were as in france its the tote who pay out .all money from the tote are returned to racing .but our friends he bookies need their profits for shareholders .simple as .by the way agree re newmarket stewards but today the racing world was watching so they had no choice :)

Surely, there is no obligation for the Bookies to pay out a 'double result'? They do that because they choose to.
Report workrider May 2, 2010 6:50 PM BST
naydam ,they do that pure and simply because they know the british stewards wont overturn to many races :^0
