Society Queen - THROW THAT OUT

surely it should go but it won't

2ND FAV looks like takes a few bumps off fav, enough to get it??

first past the post battered the second horse on several occasions, costing it the race

should be thrown OUT

whip in left hand not the best idea always going to cause the bumps?

backers don't think so

Winning margin too far to get kicked out. Won by around a length and was going away at the line. It bumped the second a couple of times but 2nd never had to stop riding. Not enough to lose race, jockey may get a day or two for careless, but you don't win by around a length and get kicked out over here.

DOM14 while i agree with winning distance the 2nd looked to be closing again and did the bumps cost it 1/2l - 1l personally i think so but stewards obsessed with only throwing out when short distance, surly some interferance costs horses too much to make it back up especially if last furlong

Surely all guess work with this one , they can't reverse the result .

the too far argument is a joke when a horse causes another horse a length by coming across it

Having ridden for around 20 years getting a bump, squeezed does not cost you 1/2L or a length. The reality is, if you don't have to stop riding, what you lose is minimal. Rarely do you lose any momentum either. If you're carried across a track, you may lose a length from running straight, but if your horse isn't strong enough to go past the horse hanging across you, then in reality the horse hanging into you is going better than you. When you have to check up, restrain the horse because you fear you'll get brought down, then you will lose a length or more in momentum, but getting bumped into when you don's have to stop riding isn't really a disadvantage at all, actually I've rode horses which have bumped into others and you actually feel your own mount losing momentum when you bump into the other horse. The ground you lose from a bump is marginal, it wont affect your horses stride pattern unless you're knocked sideways and you have to straighten your mount or stop riding. Neither happened in this case, and the winners experience and the second horses inexperience was the difference between first and second, not he couple of bumps when both horses were going forward. Luckily more stewards now are ex riders and understand what it's like to ride in races, where a stewards as above can easily be handled.

What does that mean Lampus? Have you ridden over 200 winners and thousands of rides, which can offer what I have said above as laughable ?

kj - in this case the stewards were NOT safisfied that the interference cost the affected horse a length or more.   

You may feel that the "too far" argument is a joke but given the wording of the rules (...."satisfied that the interference improved the placing of the horse in relation to the horse or horses with which it interfered") it is obvious that the distances will form a key part of their deliberations, and it is equally obvious that the bigger the distances involved, the less likely they are to be "satisfied".

the roulette system you devised is fcccukin hilarious though.

200 rides?  from an anonymous person?

winners not rides, thicket!
