hulk, it's not the carried bit, it's the inconsistency between now and previous (up until 2 weeks ago), where's the public announcement that the rules are going to be more strongly enforced?

The jockey on the first home did nothing to correct the hanging , that simply is why it lost the race. A head distance or less would be a cert to go , but a neck going away made it trappy. I didn't have a bet, normally any Enquiry I would be involved.

its not not the rules but as long as jocks dont even think for a nano second of stopping using the whip,changing whip hands keep throwing them out whatever the distance,they,ll soon learn,steward had best part of a furlong and a half to at least attempt to do something about it

if the stewards have been doing one thing for a couple of years and then do something else (which appears to be happening) then for me the bha should be telling the public and those in the sport that there is a change

Even when a jockey changes the whip hand and tries to stop the horse hanging, if it still takes the other horses line across the track it is going to get reversed. I was surprised at the prices that were trading.

A cheats charter if you allow a ride like that to stand as a winner for the jock, and being carried 15 yards or so left can definitely cost a horse a neck.

the point im making is theyve been standing until recently, it's nowrt to do with today but with consistency and how the rules are applied over long periods, right now i don't think they are following the same guidelines as they have been

You're innumerate.
Carrying a horse 15 yards left over a distance of a furlong increases the distance travelled by 0.51 of a yard, call it 18 inches. A head at the most.

The problem will continue to be that decisions can be made on an opinion of whether a horse might have won or not. That is why I prefer the American rules which say that a foul is a foul and that is it without thinking about whether a horse might have won or not.

it also has to be factored in that the second horse loses even more ground by having to run in an unnatural way ( digonally ) , so the distance lost is greater than the maths formula

call me a thicko but isnt the whole point of cheating,not correcting yor horse etc,etc is so that you look stronger at the line if not they wouldnt do it,if youve been hampered,harried,intimitaded carried across the track arnt you bound to look weaker at the finish than the horse breaking the rules,it isnt the point is it

ive been with that thought for a while pablo, the old argument about on track being closer or able to see the jocks face to face is past it now, this should be managed with a consistent panel who listen to the on track stewards/evidence and bring a level of consistency by guiding them to a decision if they are out of line
