Makes up for the start he got at wexford.

By:
Not great,winner was already running 50 yards before the start and no one wanted to go on,rest were asleep.

Evens out to 7/4 Clondaw. The Mullins other one ridden by Luke's son never attempted to pass any of the 1000 chances. Meanwhile,the winner is 11/4 into 2/1 and Ancient Sands was 9/2 into 7/2.....No financial interest here,but SURELY the stewards must have a look at these races? The first thing they should do is think about "Schooling in public" for Alechi Inois?

By:
Backed the winner and did the R/F.
Saw nothing wrong with it, except I couldn't believe my luck. |
|
By:
Wasn't paying full attention. Going to rewind back and have another watch of Alechi. The start alone should be enquired into. One horse having a running start whilst the rest are stood still!

Winner was matched at 1000/1 on the off for just over a tenner

By:
Stinks! Winner smashed up as if it was all part of the plan.

They heard you Spartan,spot on re Alechi.

Stewards now!!

Settle please

The "ride" on Alechi Inois defies belief. Plus,i believe Ruby's wife is a shareholder in Clondaw?
|
|
By:
No wonder it didn't catch my eye given how far he detached the horse. That is not acceptable on any level.
|
|
By:
Another similar scenario coming up in the next race at Killarney. Special Ted drifting Likes its lost a leg. Another Stink Job!
|

By:
Barton Bank,correct. This horse led the X-Country at Cheltenham till about the 3rd last,and was then 25/1 for the Grand National(ridden by R.Walsh). It couldn't(or never attempted) to pass selling platers today.

Reminded me of this:
https://www.racingpost.com/results/39/newton-abbot/1989-09-08/31109 Sakr dug his heels in, refusing to line up, then suddenly charged the tape as if stung by a bee. The starter panicked, pressed the button and Sakr jumped the first flight half a furlong clear. He was still half a furlong clear at the line. Cue much red-faced arm waving from connections of the Pipe/Scudamore second as they returned to unsaddle. What made it really funny was Sakr doing exactly the same thing to exactly the same Pipe/Scudamore horse a month later at Taunton: https://www.racingpost.com/results/73/taunton/1989-09-28/31274 Reluctant to start, led, soon clear, held on well under pressure from 2 out |

Mat you must be quite dim to think the pennies being matched on Special Ted would be enough to pay for a fixed result
|

not settled yet..

Can racecourses not employ someone for £8/hr to sit on their arse and keep people informed via twitter?
|
|
By:
nort shown as weighed in either yet
|

By:
Void!
|

By:
"They" will be "seething" if they don't get paid.
|
|
By:
Think with Special Ted,J O' B would have some line on Mullins one from last time(maybe think this is as good), not saying Joe is backing his but could be just that simple,no bet by the way.
|

void race, stewards done the right thing for a change

By:
void ffs!
|
|
By:
Think that is very harsh,not the winners fault he was led in and only two others showed some bit of awareness,rough on anyone who did the winner.
|
|
By:
so whats the cut off point for a void race that got a 50 yd start, see loads of races where horses get 10 yd starts .
|
|
By:
Sigh...had a big bet on the winner too.
|
|
By:
theyve opened a large can of worms there
|
|
By:
Why was the horse led in anyway seeing as it's never given a problem before
|
|
By:
Considering races have been voided when one stall opens fractionally early it doesn't seem an unreasonable decision to void the race. But it does demonstrate the lack of consistency within the sport.
|
|
By:
Carrot, I haven't seen the race myself but seemingly the horse lost a lost of ground at Wexford two runs ago.
|
|
By:
Yes and they didn't void that one.
Only if they win rather than lose all chance. |
|
By:
very fair to void the race,, hard luck loosers ,,
|
|
By:
Just been back and watched the race at Wexford. Stars Over the Sea was playing up due to temperament but the starter still shouldn't have let them go while the horse was so far behind the rest of the field.

Jumps racing is a professional sport,BB,but run by Amateurs.
|
|
By:
The Stewards are usually quite vicious in meting out punishment, both financial and suspensions, to jockey and trainer transgressors, I wonder what fate awaits one of their own, the Starter, my guess, a large brandy and port after the last race!

Perhaps they'll blame the Flagman and withhold his 50 quid! It's happened before!
