Stewards either decide jockies not at fault and Just Henny gets it or all DQ'd and Dharma Rain wins

What reason to void?

Either way it was another shambles. If they wanted the riders to go round then the result should stand. Jack Tudor knew he would be last so took a chance imo.

I think Tudor did the right thing but tough on all - wouldn't call them "dumb jockeys" - very difficult in the heat of battle in a tough situation

common sense doesn't seem to apply to uk racing after this weeks fck ups, just as likely to call it a dead heat

So Jump the fence with a Man in the middle of the Course ? Was the Horse who pulled there or was the Fence damaged what was reason to Omit fence ?

Tudor was gunna go round and took a punt. He had no hope of 'winning'
He was winning nowt so hoped the leaders were wrong.
Very quick thinking

He was further back and had longer to take stock of situation. Front runners rightly confused, he was less so

the hurdle wasn't damaged and the injured horse was nowhere near it, tudor jumped it without any issue whatsoever, so they all could have ...

There were no flags IN FRONT of the hurdle. The Rules of Racing mean only 1 horse finished. Not open to debate. If Dharma doesn't get the race the Rules no longer apply. Where does it say common sense means the rules can be disobeyed.
