The flagman has so many things to do - cut him some slack!
|
|
By:
I noticed that but it looked a decent start
|
|
By:
the flag man will get the tin tac i think
|
|
By:
I didn't see what the issue was but I doubt it would be void,if stalls open early and horses get a start they dont void.Look at Kempton the other day there wasn't even a stewards when two stalls malfunctioned

What a fecking shambles.
Did anyone gain an advantage? It's 3 miles ffs. |
|
By:
Pathetic. talk about incompetence of the highest order, How can you balls up the start like that. Scrap the rest of the card imo, and sack the idiot flagman and starter.
|

By:
it will be hours now before we get our money back
|

By:
sticking to footy. this is a shambles.. suarez and sturidge to score.
|
|
By:
Why is the flagman always an aged bloke?
Remember the guy at Aintree, this year, saying he had to get out of the way quickly, for the oncoming horses and it was a struggle. Cue laughs all round. What!? Have someone who has good eyesight and is fleet of foot |
|
By:
Agree wesdag. I've seen one horse nick 20l and they haven't stopped it... clearly favoring the fav backers the race so they stopped it. I bet they wouldn't of if the fav had fell.. bookies win again

flagman watching his horse instead of the starter
|
|
By:
Not touching the jumps again today after that, joke.
|
|
By:
The Stewards are probably desparately looking for some way to blame the jockeys!
The BHA needs to get of it's fat rrs and sort out this nonsense. Unbelievable that the man in the white coat isn't even looking at the starter. Farcical British racing run by nincompoops. |
|
By:
Tape went back the wrong way they say.
 |
|
By:
did the starter realised killarney had not finished?
|
|
By:
What about the Owners who have had to pay the entry fee, the horse transport, the groom's overtime, and the jockey's fee? They won't be getting their money back,you can be sure of that.
|
|
By:
Just imagine if this had been a scoop 6 race. Talk about bad PR
|
|
By:
Agree with parispike above, same reason for lack of pictures from Killarney on ATR
|
|
By:
starter stung be a dead bee
|
|
By:
Our system for jumps is a disgrace, I mean they let them go sometimes when one as nicked 10-20l on the rest, but pulling them back when they are in line but the tape as gone back a second too soon... disgrace, and they need sacking the lot of them.
|
|
By:
Every owner should receive first palce prize money.
If not the whole racing fraternity shoul strike. Of course I am dreaming. It's a forlorn hope that anyone will actually do anything about it. |
|
By:
Did not look anything wrong with it
I think the starter had a pedantic attack...Angle that the tape went back was 1 degree out.. Can someone call a medic for acute pedance |
|
By:
Michael - I'd demand my fu cking money back, and if they said no I'd deck the tw at who ballsed up the start.
|
|
By:
Clearly the flag man at fault. He is supposed to respond immediately to a yellow flag by the starter and he didn't even look at the starter as far as I could see. Failing that, why didn't the starter alert the next person along the course There is someone at each fence to wave a flag if there is an injured horse or jockey. Total shambles.
|
|
By:
If we don't get our money back I'd flip, and so should the trainer and owners of the horses.
|
|
By:
We now have to worry about shambles like this it seems, utter disgrace the flag waving clown and the idiotic starter. the tape didn't snap right, put us to sleep ffs.
|

By:
mana from heaven for littlejohn here, its the yellow vest syndrome again,should make cameron wear one
|
|
By:
Id guess there were a few jockeys shouting "NO" as they got squeezed out at the start and the starter reacted to that.
Starter waves flag...............flagman is daydreaming and misses false start. Flagman to blame imho |
|
By:
The other daft aspect of this was the position of the start relative to the fence which caused them to come in at an angle. They should have lined up immediately behind the fence as they always used to.

This has got to end up as a spec savers advert
