What a truly dreadful decision.

i layed the eventual winner so i have obviously a vested interest...........but win lose or draw its a long time since ive seen a race like that reversed in this country . you could take that to another 15 english tracks and at least 14 of them would say no change......incredible

well if that is now the template we'll get an amended twice a day,it was racing and Herbalist had almost a furlong to move left and shoot up a gap only 4 horse widths wide next to the rail. And the stewards were certain it would have won? Drink/drug test the doddery old wastrels. Absolutely shocking and if it stands on appeal then amendments will be commonplace.

Virgin you are welcome to my lotto numbers but be warned i have never got more than 4 numbers up! lol

By:
they should employ one stewarding group in one office in London
different stewards different interpretations = zero consistency How can that lose the race when the Mccabe horse that beat the Hills odds on poke last week keeps the race? Exactly. |

Shocking decision. Just glad I traded out on the eventual winner.

ph - spot on!

Nige down south
4 will do  |

By:
the point is all we are asking for is a little consistency...just a tad..............whether it should be thrown out is besides the point ..........in those situations they very very rarely get thrown out here ............as i said , be a long time before you see that again in this country
|

By:
The price on the winner to keep the race was baffling considering there was no interference whatsoever, enquiry into the stewards required.
|
|
By:
With an unimpeded run to the line the second would've reached the line more quickly than he did (i.e.the nose he was beaten). The first past the post caused this. Simple call really, this is the correct decision, it's all the other decicions that are ridiculous.

By:
where can i see the replay?
|
|
By:
consistency is all everybody wants I should think.
|
|
By:
think you mean 99 in a 100 it stands.
|
|
By:
America yes, Australia well maybe. In the U.K. we expect that result to stand, it was a truly dreadful decision. No consistancy, Pizarro kept the race after Spencer performed the equine equivalent of gbh.

By:
Full time,highly trained,professional stewards are what's needed in this country.Also a review of the interference rules that lean heavily in favour of the horse causing interference.

They wont get away with that. Posting for their info. Not Yours.

I sympathise with the losers on that race, but you should know by now that the stewards are NEVER to be relied upon!
I've learned plenty of lessons and that's why I don't mind 'forfeiting' a few quid to stop the worry in the enquiry. I was really tempted when it went to around 1.4 to keep the race but I smelled a rat, as it was far too big a price. I'm just relieved I got out of jail, even though I was still down on the race. |

That has nothing to do with stewards and everything to do with money. It's marked and so are they.

rarely do we get such agreement on this forum ..this is indeed unusual for more than one reason .............and it proves that layers and punters dont mind losing..thats life i am afraid.....but we do want consistency and therefore a chance ....if we are to be at the mercy of random opinions of geriatric senility with no rules on stewards inquiries ..then we havent moved forward in 50 years of stewards. this is 2012...my God cant we get fairness across the board ?

thanks apacino.

By:
it's happened, I've moved on but racing remains the toughest game in the world; appeal will indeed be interesting, wish I could be a 'fly on the wall' as they deliberate on 'what the bloody hell have the leicester stewards landed us with!'
off to see the swimming olympics and then a sound sleep in readiness for tomorrow. |
|
By:
FFS it was clear that the interference cost second the race, how can anyone say anything else. Correct decision, well done stewards.
|
|
By:
the most cynical aspect was the betting. The huge bet which took the amended winner from 4s to 1.3 in a fraction of a second just before the announcement. Should be a stewards into the stewards imo.
|

I wish I had said that Oscar.
|
|
By:
It happens all the time scooby, nothing is ever done about it.
|
|
By:
The 2nd had every chance to go past even with the interference. I agree with race course commentator that im not sure he would of gone past in another 50yds!
|
|
By:
So if there is an appeal when will this be? Shahdaroba was the last leg in my 5-horse multiple, 4-winners then Shahdaroba went over the line first and i thought the 5th was in the bag gutted its been overturned!
|
|
By:
The result of the appeal would make no difference to any bets.
|
|
By:
agree with ap re: a lot depends on the jockeys and what they say. I don't think it's fair, for example, say an inexperienced apprentice up against Fallon. How intimidating would that be for an apprentice, imo?
They have all the angles, is there any need to interview jockeys? |
|
By:
The moral of this debacle is to never rely on stewards to do the right thing.
I traded out for a loss even though I reckoned that it had no chance of it getting chucked if consistency is anything to go by. Just relieved that I did. |
|
By:
So why wouldnt Betfair pay out if an appeal gave 1st place back to Shahdaroba?
|
|
By:
i feeel soo sick thinking you have one your big bet of the day to have it taken away from you also knowing my m8 also backed it on 365 has been paid out.GUTTED!!!!
|
|
By:
Just noticed this thread.. Hills paid me out on the original winner..
|
|
By:
Im gutted obviously regarding the bet, but i think im more in shock like everyone else on this thread of the resulted being changed because you see a lot worst than that and never see the result get amended!
