wtf at fontwell dumb jockeys or what???

anything being held up on the other side of the hurdle has no bearing on whether the hurdle should be jumped or not ...

Dharma rain declared the winner.
That’s not right .

How did this take longer than 2 minutes to sort out?

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.

Dharma!

WHat is on the sign being held by the chap on the other side of the hurdle?

there was 2 of them Keef  watch closely 1st 2 seconds of video not sure what was on signs or were they arrows ?

Never been a more straightforward case.

tudor wins it

Can only be the groundstaff's fault. You cannot blame the jockeys for going around with 3 blokes on the other side of the hurdle.

How on earth did the idiots call a result without an enquiry , beyond stupid.

well that's the right call on this one, well done to the lad for not following the pack

hammond not getting an ironice email about dead heat

Rules enforced correctly, half of those jocks had time to choose whether to jump or not, just watch the fav take evasive action to just get round it in time,

emailer should it have been a dead heat between 1 that went round and Dharma

tickled me geoff

Amended result , the 'winner' was the last one to choose not to jump it .

Jockeys surely can't face any punishment.

Otherwise from now on, just jump the obstacles and plow into anyone on the other side.

were there 2 horses on ground one horse and jock are 50yds behind flags 200 yds behind hurdle,was there another one on the ground,or were groundstaff trying to protect themselves and there was no stricken horse ,jockey on ground

Thanks wonder

fair play to Tudor. Easy to follow the crowd like sheep.

Well done to those who backed Jack and well done to those who laid everything else.

Never been a fan of Johnson the commentator,but hats off to him for letting people know what had happened.

could've put screens up round the stricken horse and waved the field round it after they'd jumped the hurdle, had a furlong to play with after they'd landed ...

Hindsight, of course ............ but the commentator was basically telling us all to take all the free money on offer (i didn't)

plenty of people prob had him on mute he's normally shouting so much

Everybody that backed it on the strength of his comments should send him a drink.

would he have sent them drinks if it didn't get the race ?

fair play to Tudor. Easy to follow the crowd like sheep.

Yes well done DICK TURPIN alive and kicking

is the stricken horse the one been held by jockey 100 yds behind grounmdstaff and 200 yds behind hurdle,or was there another on the ground

Checkered flag means avoid a fence.

There was no fence immediately after the flags.

Can you really blame the jockeys for getting it wrong?

Then again same happened at Sedgefield when the wrong flag was raised and jockeys took the blame.

anyway back to reality...Tiger has just had a 10 (TEN) on the par 3 12th at augusta

he's been deemed to have ridden to the rules and the rest didn't, should imagine trainer and connections are delighted he had the sense to act

shame for tiger only player in world tv follow when 20 shots behind with 6 to play,

Can I just check - after all that, was there only one official finisher? Just interested to know how they'll settle the place market.

yes ev all dq'd

Win market not settled yet?

been fun and games if a Pished up crowd at the course

Been a foookin riot

Seem to be making the rules up as they go along.

they've paid it correctly on here (as in places)

Betfair have settled only one winner in the place markets, as you would expect.

Foookin madness 

Just Sporting Life slow to update their results page correctly I guess?

disagree.

Bloke does POST Results on avacuppa place imo

happy days. thanks again to commentator.

Market would have been juicier if the commentator said the wrong thing and said they were supposed to leave that fence. Carnage would have ensued.

be taking dharma on if it goes up in the h'cap as a result of that win ...

It was not the rules that were at issue but there had to be a point where the Clerk gave instructions for the flight to be dolled off and his staff were slow in carrying out the instruction. A few seconds earlier and the arrows would have been in place and any jockey jumping it would have been dq and banned.

won by 1/2 length pmsl

Looking at Sparrow's post above, why have all the horses been pushed down a place? Surely it's just DHARMA RAIN - that's it. How can you be placed in a race which you did not officially complete?

no penalties imposed on any rider.

The tote have settled it correctly. Dharma the only finisher and tote place paid more than the win. £4.60 to place vs £4.34 to win.

top shout to the commentator who called it straight away and echoed it several times for all the in running punters

Exactly Jamee. I understand from this thread that BF have only settled one horse in the place market which is the correct decision.

As of yet, Iv had no money returned to my account in the place market, having backed a DQ Horse.
Anybody else?

The only people who should be paid in the place market are those who backed DHARMA RAIN or laid any of the disqualified horses.

It will be a loser I'm afraid.

wd lads..all the armchair experts copped the lot on the fav at 20/1..

wd.

Should the jockeys who failed to jump the hurdle be disqualified. I think they have to be, regardless of the outcome of the race.

fav was Kentford Mallard (9/4).  hth.

no sh!t sherlock.

Think Jockeys took the safe option , 2 nutters with Signs on course and Injured horse ,Then man with Gran Prix flag arrive after they gone by , Shambolic from Fontwell regardless of Rules ,
no wonder no action taken against Jockeys ..

Any one on winner pre-race will need to be doing the lottery this week .

After hearing evidence from each rider involved, the BHA announced that the disqualified jockeys would face no further punishment for taking the wrong course.

This was due to the genuine cause for concern created by the unfortunate positioning of the racecourse staff who were carrying the arrows across the track just as the field was approaching the third-last hurdle.

The BHA's official stewards' report stated: "Taking into account, on this occasion; the poor visibility, and the illusion that the chevrons had been placed in the hurdle – which was caused by the
chevrons being carried across the course behind the hurdle, which gave riders’ cause for concern for the safety of all involved – no penalties were imposed on any rider."

Anyone lost money has been robbed imo , Regardless of Rule

Look Like RP not happy with outcome

result they have up now

they gave a tailed off horse the race that was halted becos of a misconstrued safety misunderstanding..

absolutely ridic..could have voided race and no complaints.

sky racing can close ride of the month for november ... the difference between winning and not getting plaiced, had about one second to decide

The fact the jockeys who took the wrong course didn't get a ban tells you everything you need to know: the ground staff messed up.

Voiding the race would've made more sense.

Some days you get unexpectedly lucky; other days you feel like you've been completely shafted

I have to admit I was extremely lucky today, as a buyer of Fontwell "99 Distances" on the spreads. The maximum make-up of 99 for the final race made a grand total of 192. The trade was already well ahead prior to the last race, so I just let it run.

Believe me, I've been on the wrong side of several 'results' over the years (to much bigger stakes) and I feel the pain of anyone who has lost due to this race today.

I finished the day marginally up, but only due to this result

Is it a coincidence that this race and the fiasco at Sandown were the last race of the day in bad light.

no need to void the race as 1 horse took the correct course .

if it was the other way around where 1 horse took the wrong course and they voided the race would that have been any different

distance betting..guessing at its finest.

Not always, when you have enough data.

anythings guessing for rico unless he's already seen it happening, don't be offended its how he rolls ...

Pocket talking losers v those who were quick and shrewd enough to take the free money. I know which side I want to be on.

Morning Lara / Fifi.

Keyword in Laras post "WANT" nice to see an honest poster

free money? noone had a clue what was happening..walofs

gambeano 16 Nov 20 00:07 
Not always, when you have enough data.

does the data tell you when 1 finishes? does the data know whwn a jockey rides out or eases up? another walofs

To be honest, I'd say "when a jockey rides out or eases up" is alofs as a statistical measure
How on earth would you quantify it in a data file? 0=Winner ridden out, 1 = winner eased up?
And what about if the second place jockey eases up whilst the leader rides out?

I'm not looking at individual race markets; I'm looking at a meeting as a whole, so a collection of 6-8 races (and now 9 or sometimes 10 races per card since Covid-19 came along).

I have plenty of data and criteria to work with and if you think it's alofs, that's fine by me, each to their own

It turned out to be free money for anyone who believed that the stewards would apply the rules literally. I suppose that history has been on their side in the past but in recent years there has been the occasional outbreak of common sense in similar situations. I wonder what the result would have been if the "winner" had followed the other horses round the hurdle or pulled up?
