That bump unbalanced the second - surely it will get the race ......
|
|
By:
Should be ammended if not a joke
|
|
By:
betting suggests it can go either way, so there is a Question
|
|
By:
who is better in the stewards room, Gibbo or Ady Nicholls ?
|
|
By:
Has to get the race. Bump slowed momentum and lost by a very small margin. Not sure what will get amended if this doesnt.
|
|
By:
yeah cause the stewards aren't me, but if i was in charge, there would be no question.
|
|
By:
if id backed either id be hedging and i guess most people are
|
|
By:
has to go surely
|
|
By:
the inability by Gibbo to change his whip didnt help..has to go tbf
|
|
By:

|
|
By:
LOnger it takes means they can't decide. Should be straightforward thrown

absolutely no doubt , it would get chucked out if it had gone on to win a length after that bump.
|
|
By:
If it doesn't go then not sure what one has to do to get thrown out
|
|
By:
Gibbons did something similar at Redcar towards the end of the turf season - and got away with it!
And as he's not a 7lb claimer... |

particularly when one of the horses is trained abroad ...

|
|
By:
Forum knew and the market didn't,,,
|
|
By:
unfair verdict
|
|
By:
Correct decision
|
|
By:
Seems the correct decision
|
|
By:
Interestingly just like yesterday prices changed quite significantly just before market closed
|
|
By:
A lazy effort from Gibbons, deserved to lose the race.
|
|
By:
over evens on that, there really was no question, should have put more on in hindsight
 |
|
By:
stewards lumping on
 |
|
By:
San not in the least unfair
|
|
By:
Assault on rome was very slight odds against for almost all of the stewards then matched down to 1.88 just before suspend. They get just enough on in just enough time imo
|
|
By:
Was a good decision. Backed Archange, but no complaints.

over evens on that, there really was no question, should have put more on in hindsight great stuff...isnt it easy post result.  |

By:
Just shows the inconsistency of the stewards when Gibbons was allowed to get away with those 'tactics' on Play Gal at Redcar, but this evening he's not. Should have been reversed both times imo.
|
|
By:
jockeys play that drift every day, if you win more than a neck they can't chuck you out, win a short head and you're toast ....
|
|
By:
He KNEW he was tightening up his rival against the rail yet continued to use the whip in his right hand. For me those sort of 'tactics' should be properly punished with a ban that will act as a deterrent eg 14 days

I couldn't agree more George.

All Gibbons got at Redcar for doing virtually the same thing was a caution:
The Stewards held an enquiry under Rule (B)11.6 into possible interference inside the final furlong. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race they found that the winner, PLAY GAL, ridden by Graham Gibbons had edged left and that SOLDIER IN ACTION (FR), placed second, ridden by Paul Mulrennan had lugged right, both interfering with each other. They further found, that having had contact on his hind quarters, PLAY GAL continued to lean onto SOLDIER IN ACTION (FR). They found that the interference had not improved the placing of PLAY GAL, in that SOLDIER IN ACTION (FR) initially had a part in the interference and had lost little momentum. They ordered the placings to remain unaltered. The Stewards found Gibbons in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding in that he failed to take reasonable steps to correct his mount when lugging left. They cautioned Gibbons as to his future conduct in races. Because the Redcar stewards failed to deal with him as they should have, he thinks he can continue to get away with it... |

Gibbons was absolutely clueless. He straightens the horse and changes whip hand and he wins imho

The Stewards held an enquiry under Rule (B)11.6 into possible interference on the run to the line. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race they found that the winner, ARCHANGE (FR), ridden by Graham Gibbons, had interfered with ASSAULT ON ROME (IRE), placed second, ridden by Adrian Nicholls, and that the interference had improved ARCHANGE (FR)’s placing, as ASSAULT ON ROME (IRE) was making ground inside the final furlong when he was impeded on the run to the line, to be beaten by a short head. They placed ASSAULT ON ROME (IRE) first and ARCHANGE (FR) second. The Stewards found Gibbons in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding, in that he had allowed his horse to drift left from approximately 1 furlong out and, although he straightened him ½ a furlong out, he used his whip again in his right hand causing his mount to drift left once again, which resulted in ASSAULT ON ROME (IRE) running out of room and losing his balance approaching the line. They suspended Gibbons for 3 days as follows: Monday 4, Tuesday 5, and Wednesday 6 January 2016.

...so is that 3/7 susp inclusive of the Red warning 'They cautioned Gibbons as to his future conduct in races' or further repercussions likely ?
