Getting ridiculous. Some of those 2-y-olds were in the stalls for nearly 5 mins at Ayr. The Johnston horse fell outve the stalls while the second last to load winner got a flyer. There was only 8 runners ffs.

They need to adjust the rules that races can start before the off time, but the bookies would not allow it.

Someone will be along shortly to defend the trainers and say it's all the fault of the claustrophobic stalls.

well you would know that us racing is almost never off at the published time

Precisely dealer. People spending fortunes on horses and yet the industry can't afford some proper starting stalls.
|
|
By:
the stalls are larger in the us because there is a handler in beside every horse

We are talking about the amount of time it takes to load the horses Dave and the adverse effects on others stuck in the stalls up to 5 minutes. Nothing to do with off times at all.

And while the industry is purchasing some proper stalls it can employ a few extra handlers as well.

these stalls weren't liked from day 1

28 handlers for the wokingham?
