The STIPENDIARY Steward - New Rules. ...

BHA gives judges a helping hand after embarrassing photo-finish reversal

By Peter Scargill
UPDATED 4:46PM, JUL 5 2018

Judges have been handed a safety net by the BHA following the embarrassing reversal of the placings in a photo-finish at Kempton in March.

The BHA was forced to amend the result of a 1m4f handicap after a re-examination of the photo-finish showed hot favourite Oregon Gift had actually claimed victory over Bird For Life by a nose instead of the other way around.

However, punters who had backed Oregon Gift were left out of pocket with the incorrect result made official by the weighed-in signal being given, while Mark Usher, trainer of Bird For Life, expressed his disappointment with how the incident had been handled.

Since the start of this week the finishing order of races have been verified by the stipendiary steward on duty before the weighed-in announcement is made and the result is official.

While the judge retains final responsibility for results, distances and times, the new process allows a query to be sent by the stipendiary steward to revisit the result.

The two parties can then come to an agreement and any amendments to the provisional result can be made before it becomes official.

Brant Dunshea, the BHA’s chief regulatory officer, said: "Although the initial situation which caused us to look into results verification was disappointing, the outcome – whereby all those affected by the result of a race can have increased confidence in its accuracy – is a positive one.

"I’d like to thank all those who have been involved in the process, both within the BHA and externally, for their assistance in completing this project, which is now in place for all races run in Britain."

It's an optical illusion.  Without the noseband  Rio Ronaldo would probably have got the race with no repercussions!

judge is like donald pleasance in the Great Escape.

spec savers couldn't help this guy

Amazing after so many mistakes in the past still only one person adjudicating instead of at two (at least) - the banks do that with hole-in-the-wall deposits so why not horse racing.

Let's hope the official concerned was not under the influence of anything illegal. Maybe a trip to 'specsavers' would be adequate.

This is his second mistake in 5 months. Smith was sacked for one mistake.
------------

Fairly sure that - it will be a 1.01 - that if the present 'double-check' system had been in place ....

Then we would have found that Smudger Smith made MORE the just ONE mistake.

In fact - make that - 'No Offers' - instead of 1.01.

Which race? - are you referring to?

free the smudger one

Nobody knows - Because he called them so quick  - just how many that there may have been -

- But, boy, Were the plenty of potential qualifiers -

-  and mistakes such as Wheeler's two latest ones were NOT REVISITED by the BHA, or anybody, in those days.... so they went 'Under the Radar'.

The result WAS changed before the weigh in but damage was still done. Some bookies are under pressure to pay before the weigh in and not everybody hears the amendment. Also, the damage to the reputation and integrity to the sport is immense.

There's only one result. Nothing changed after the weigh-in

betfair sportsbook and skybet paid out both the first and second,

lads must have as well so would guess Hills would have as well
