they were waving it after the hurdle but like you say hulk that's irrelevant tbh
no flag in front of hurdle = got to jump the hurdle
simples
all horses that didn't = taken the wrong course = DQ & jockeys banned
that is BHA protocol

looking at the other tv angle they just showed on atr , it seems like the ground staff were getting the arrows to use to show the jockeys to be wary of the stricken horse about 100 yards after the hurdle .
they were not using the arrows to tell them to NOT jump the hurdle imo

Darma surely wins. ‘Don’t jump hurdles’ arrows are always in front of hurdle

if they're waving it after the hurdle it doesn't relate to that hurdle, could be waving it for the next hurdle ...

If the flag must be waived before the hurdle it should take them 1 minute to DQ everyone bar the horse that
jumped the hurdle. The they decide do they ban/fine other jocks or let them off because there was a health risk.

yes, I agree with this version of events, its just unfortunate the jockeys didn't see it that way

case its a head on angle, the distance between the horses & the guy with the sign is massively foreshortened
he's not "in their path" ffs

It was an awful h'cap hurdle run at slow pace. Id fancy my grandmother to have got out the way.

It was certainly obstructed when the leaders jumped the previous flight. 2 guys with arrows were busy trying to put them in place. When they saw the field bearing down on them they took them down and scarpered.

how many groundstaff did tudor kill by jumping it ?
By:

When: 15 Nov 20 16:25
Pretty clear isn't it. Signs up after the hurdle to avoid the horse. Far enough from the hurdle for there to be no reason not to jump that hurdle. Jockey errors apart from Jack Tudor who has won the race. Not sure what they are deliberating.

He was only one runner and he was at the back of the pack? so more time to react?

By:

When: 15 Nov 20 16:26
its about 13 seconds between the time that the leaders are reacting to the point where they pass the groundstaff

that's about a furlong

Surely no riders should be banned. It was totally unclear as to what they were supposed to do.

Any ambiguity must go with the horse that completed the course, cannot see how this should be void.

yes but tudor had a solo
if all the runners had jumped it, many of them wanting to be on the outside for the better ground, then it would have taken them close to the staff and the stricken horse
The hurdle should have been dolled off correctly before the runners got anywhere near it, perhaps with the going they couldn't get the horse off the track, it wasn't dead and I guess was standing with a bad leg so if the field had run by it would probably caused it ti get upset and further injury
