What would have happened if either or both horses had jumped the last?
|
|
By:
the 3rd would have been placed 1st
|

By:
Just another **** up with millions riding on it :(
What did they think would happen if they spread the boards, the jockeys would jump between them FFS! And Andrew Lynch missed a trick, he could of sent Barry down the hurdles course haha |
|
By:
if one horse jumped the last---one missed fence
technicaly they would both be right  |

The Stewards held an enquiry into the use of the whip by A.E Lynch, the rider of SIZING EUROPE, placed second, on the run in. Having heard his evidence and viewed recordings of the race, they found him in breach of Schedule (B)6 Part 2 in that he had used his whip in an incorrect place. The Stewards suspended Lynch for 6 days as follows: Wednesday 28, Thursday 29, Friday 30 and Saturday 31 March and Sunday 1 and Monday 2 April
just to round it all offDeary me |

Head of Stewards !! Has not got a clue nothing but bulls... from that idiot.

You're right steamship..race should be void
|

By:
Lynch was right to get a ban , he was obviously using his whip in the wrong place , should have been across the heads of the Stewards.

If I were he,Little, I would have found it very difficult to stop myself doing just that given the circumstances!

Educated idiots running the show.
Never been so angry over a race in my life. People dont mind picking the wrong selection but when the course management can not even doll a fence off with a circuit to go it frustrates me. |

ahh, they blow a whistle!!!

'It worked' - !!! What was he watching?
|

By:
3 markers should be spaced out on the fence and cones put well before it so the jockeys can take the correct action. I cannot believe at our flagship meeting we have this confusion. British Racing needs a thorough clearout.

By:
the bollards weren't there because they were supposed to jump the fence and the bloke with the flag who knows it is being kept well away....imo

lets hope a few members of the public round about heard the instruction go out.

I'm sure they can hear a whistle over 35,000 people cheering, surely?

Racing, run by an exclusive toff club who think they are above anyone else.
Makes me sick. I hope crocodiles invade the course next year. |
|
By:
it did work...Jockeys were not gonna see the boards till after they jumped the second last so was always going to need some quick manouvering...what happened was exactly what should have happened. I dont see how they could have done much more....if they had put 100 boards up, flashing lights, ropes across the course it still would have required the jocks/horses to make the same manouver. Get over it, it happens.

By:
wrong mydogs.....
flagman should have been in middle of fence right in front waving and standing his ground. That would have made it clear. |

Where th fcuk id Doive when we need him just wait till he gets back from the states he,ll sort it out wivout them dam Lib Dems just wait and see.
|
|
By:
and half way in between the last two fences the jocks would have looked up and made the same move...no need to make such a big deal out of it
|
|
By:
Well someone is in the wrong because the jockeys were not sure what to do. As I say 3 arrows across the fence not so close to the near end, there was definite indecision about letting hte jockeys jump it and if they had the result would have stood.
|
|
By:
Has there been any OFFICIAL statement saying that they were, or, were not supposed to jump the fence?
I think they were supposed to jump the part of fence that was clear of boards, but that's just a guess. Badly organised, whatever the case, imo. |
|
By:
All i'm saying is that the last two fences are now fairly close together, 2 horses neck and neck going all out in a champion race....it was always going to be/look messy trying to steer them around the last no matter what was done, and the overreaction (especially from the channel 4 muppets) was just ridiculous. These things just happen.

think this is correct .they were supposed to jump the fence ...hence the ban for lynch on the false flag charge of whip abuse .......they really done him for making them look like dumbmotherfckers .BJG was just too cute for lynch he stalked waiting for any chance that might give him an op to exploite ....and his streetwise approach paid off on a horse that really could not have won otherwise .Sizing was warm and a little buzzed in the ring before and the jockey tried to look after him then events transpired against them .
as said he should have bounced BJ into the hurdle track as at that point the race was really his but BJ just reacted quicker .the recent constant changing of the rules and fences and so much emphasis on horse welfare the punters got a bum deal whilst the iNcompetent Course Officials have dodged the bullets aided by c4.A very unsatisfactory end one of highlights of the festival.Thats why the Official on c4 said very little and they will be celebrating a result . |

when they were halfway round in the race even Simon Holt was unclear about what was happening, at one stage it looked like they were going to miss out the fence, and then when they moved the boards back he said they may be jumping half the fence.
So if he was confused what about the 2 jockeys going neck and neck with their heads down and the low sun not helping either, it was very confusing and they had to make a split second decision. It was badly handled and the chap with the flag didn't help either, I didn't expect him to be in the middle of the course but he could have been standing a bit further out. |

a green flag for jump the fence or a red flag for bypass would have removed all confusion from the easily confused .

The whip ban is a joke. Probably had to use it more due to suddenly having to swerve the last. Ban should be overturned.
Having said that - a lot of pocket talking bollox on here. Finians Rainbow would have won in any case and is a deserved winner. Watch the race again without your blinkers and get over it. Void race? Grow up!  |

By:
i think the last 2 jumps should have been taped off,thus avoiding the dangerous situation of leaping the 2nd last then veering violently to the right,possibly damaging 1 or other horses in the process,not much use to se backers fare enough but a heck of a lot safer
