Not only did he not lose any momentum he still had a furlong to get his mount up and the horse still would not go past.

It's a pity for Piper backers that KS didn't hit the front sooner! PP would surely have got back up. Crazy decision by stewards IMO.

horse runs down a hurdle or fence = convention is its ignored

i think its the right decision

We see far more interference on a daily basis and th e stewards do nothing, yet because the cameras are in the stewards room today and the old farts are awake they decide to actually do there job for once

Hilly! You are absolutely right, and as you say, ANY INTERFERENCE, anywhere, has a bearing on finishing positions. The stewards are cranks!

Certainly opens up every single tight finish to a stewarts.

piper started veering left well before the last..russell never tried to correct it.

Under the rules the locations IS ABSOLUTELY RELEVANT. The stewards are required to decide whether, on the balance of probabilities, the interference affected the result. Their confidence and degree of certainty, that it did, will WITHOUT DOUBT be impacted by how far out the interference occurred.

Given that the stewards based their decision on the video what took them so long? What a waste of
time. Should have taken them 30 seconds. They've ignored the jockeys' statements so why bother asking them? Only in Britain could such bolucks exist. |

If i owned Knights i would feel pretty peeved how Paddy represented my interests in the stewards

A length lost is a length lost wherever it happens, I once had a horse chucked out (sabre hills for barely noticeable interference half a mile out and that was 30 years ago |

By:
Instead of coming out with all that irrelevant nonsense Russell should have just said "I agree with Paddy". You could see Brennan cringing at Russell's testimony. Further evidence if it was needed that jockeys don't belong in stewards enquiries.
Having said that thought it was a very poor decision, it was too far out for such minimal interference to be relevant. Stewards were naive and ruined the race. |

Spyker - "will WITHOUT DOUBT be impacted by how far out the interference occurred". A length lost is a length lost wherever it happens, I once had a horse chucked out (sabre hills for barely noticeable interference half a mile out and that was 30 years ago.
Your latter point is correct but pretty much irrelevant under the rules. The stewards are required to decide on the balance of probabilities whether that "lost length" affected the result at the end. If the "lost length" was at the last fence, they are far more likely to decide that it did, that if the "lost length" happened at the first. |

Why are jocks asked for their opinion in a stewards?
Do refs asked for a footie player's opinion before giving a card or pen? Baffling. |

Knight Salute was handed outright victory in the Grade 1 Jewson Anniversary 4-y-o Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree on Thursday in the stewards' room but both his trainer and jockey seemed unconvinced the stewards had reached the correct decision.
After a barnstorming finish, the judge could not split Knight Salute and Pied Piper but following an inquiry, the stewards deemed that interference between the pair at the last hurdle had cost Knight Salute outright victory. Given evidence in the televised stewards' inquiry, Knight Salute's rider Paddy Brennan told the panel that the interference had not altered the result but the stewards ultimately disagreed and gave Brennan and Knight Salute the race. Jewson Anniversary 4-y-o Juvenile Hurdle full result and race replay "To be honest, I didn't feel a lot. Davy [Russell] has obviously got to the front and he's had a look at the last and my horse has reacted to that and jumped to the inside," Brennan told the stewards. "I was always happy to go to that rail, so I don't think it affected my finishing position to be honest." He continued: "It was cat and mouse. I wanted to be using him as a line and then from the last I was always going to make a manoeuvre to get a run. So whether he jumped left or right, I was always going to be happy to stay behind him until then." Davy Russell, rider of Pied Piper, blamed himself for being in front far too soon and told the stewards his horse was idling on the run-in. Knight Salute (right) and Pied Piper cross the line together Knight Salute (right) and Pied Piper cross the line together Edward Whitaker (racingpost.com/photos) He said: "I completely rode the horse incorrectly myself. I was there way too soon and he's idled in the past. I just travelled so well and was going so easy and got there and just idled. "I know the horse – he's done it in the past and he's done it again there. I've tried to keep him straight and I didn't want to cause interference, nor did I know I was causing interference. "With such a long straight here, he's done it in the past – he did it in his first run at Punchestown and ran around in front and I knew myself riding in the race, this is completely wrong what I was doing and he was going to idle in front but my hands were tied and tipped away at the race. "I would have preferred to have been doing what Paddy was doing and then I would have been at way more of an advantage. I was at a disadvantage the way it was." 'What a horserace' Asked by the BHA's head of stewarding Shaun Parker if he had felt there had been any momentum lost with what had taken place at the last hurdle, Brennan said: "Absolutely none. When I jumped the last, that's when I was thinking, right, I need to go for this. "Whether Davy jumped left or right, my momentum wasn't what mattered, because when I got over that last hurdle, that's when I was going to play my cards and everything worked perfectly for me and I think it's a very fair result and what a horserace." On the decision the stewards reached and the fact it appeared to go against what Brennan had told them, Parker said: "I think what we need to understand is that in any inquiry we hold the parties in terms of natural justice have an opportunity of putting their case to the stewards. |

begs absolute and utter belief. |

By:
would brennan have compensated the owners if he'd manage to persuade the stewards not to award his the race ...
|
|
By:
Illustrates the point I was making above.
The input of jocks in a stewards is irrelevant. Just look at the replays & don't bother asking these daft coonts a thing. |

Here comes an appeal....

By:
Here's a question for you steve. Had Pied Piper won by 3L would it still have been disqualified?
|
|
By:
Under the rules, No!, Nay, Never!
|
|
By:
Of course not. And I've said it before on here that too much emphasis is placed on the winning distance. If a horse is badly bumped but loses a length it won't get the race. The assumption that because it was beaten a length the bump didn't really matter is a nonsense imop.
|
|
By:
Of course it is nonsense, and that is why the distance beaten is NOT specifically in the rules. It is (or should be) merely a consideration in the Stewards deliberations. Of course, the Stewards are more likely to likely to throw one out if the gap is small AND they consider that the interference was worth the loss
At the risk of being considered an apologist for the stewards, I am merely trying to interpret the rules, which for the avoidance of doubt give no guidance to Stewards on what weight to give the evidence given by involved jockeys  |
|
By:
So if the same incident would have occurred at the first hurdle involving the same 2 horses would the result still still have stood. How far back will the stewards now be rewinding a race back. Does the rule book state when the incident has to take place for the result to be affected. Does it state only at the last hurdle or one the run in but anything goes before that.

Pied half length jumping the last first, a curious decision, we see this sort of thing everyday no stewards.
|

By:
You can't point and aim some of these old slow sorts!
|

By:
I am biased , but watching live, as they jumped the last I shouted ' Davy you bastard ' , assuming 'racing incident ' .
|
|
By:
Don't know where we stand with stewards today, been some decisions in last 6 months which would never got turned round in last few years. I understand the reasons for the revised result but how many races before should of been revised if they are the rules
 |

Interestingly, there was a double disqualification at Parx (America) this week.
Winner A drifted slightly left, Runner Up B drifted slightly right. Neither did much wrong or even came anywhere near each other. However the cumulative effect was the 3rd C, in the middle of both but behind both, was squeezed and snatched back and after an Enquiry was awarded the race. |
