The rules in this country are a disgrace. U can get away with anything and still keep the race.

You might well have a point as the bar for dangerous riding is set too high. But under the rules this was never dangerous riding.

Remember the benchmark for what is and isn't dangerous riding was set a few years ago when Spencer looked at the tv screen and deliberately sent his horse into the path of ,ironically, Moore's mount.

If a footballer is fouled running through on goal 'accidentally', it's still a foul. It's just a nonsense to say you can keep the race no matter what you do so long as you're on the best horse and it wins by more than a head.

Ha, didnt see this :D

Should it matter regarding the outcome whether it was dangerous or careless? it matters when the current rules define which of those it is and what the stewards option therefore are

The problem with the current rules (IMO) is that they put the onus on the loser to prove he'd have won, instead of putting it on the winner to prove he wouldn't.

In other words, my understanding of the rules is in a situation like this the stewards won't overturn unless they deem the runner-up certain to have one.

It might be fairer if the result is reversed unless it's deemed certain the runner-up could NOT possibly have won. That at least incentivizes jockeys not to cause interference.

(Although you'd have to be foolish to think that happens anything but rarely and certainly not here).
