Watching the replay, the horse starts to prepare to take the bend a couple of strides before the tape. Needs some serious rethink definitely.

Jesus Christ , a two year old child can see that there’s a turning rail there , there has to be for the horses to go out into the country . What do you expect there , a set of traffic lights .

Hey alright...calm down calm down.....the tape is attached to a curved piece of the rails.(can see that in the head on view)......if that part was taken down as they go out on the final circuit.....plus say another 20-30 yards of the other plastic rail round the bend....then attach the tape to a straight piece.......we may not have had the problem.....possibly a better solution than traffic lights methinks!!

Horses are clearly getting more intelligent as the years past and remember which way they went last time. If the jockey is hitting them on the outside they are clearly thinking, I have to go round again.

Today their solution is to have men holding up bits of tape!

custom cut and co spot on ,its the turning shape of the rail at that point that's attracting the horse to follow it nothing to do with the tapes, rather worrying that about a dozen ruk pundits,half a dozen itv pundits and the cotc discussing it over 2 days ,couldn't identify this as the problem

it isn't just a turning rail ,but the turning rail for a few yards after the straight rail sends them away from the rail before luring them back towards the turn
