Butlers brief who fell at the 4th last got up and galloped into the 3rd last and got stuck. Had to sedate him etc to get him out

Oh gawd !

By:
Thanks for the info. Poor horse.
|
|
By:
hope its ok.
maybe Alastair Ralph can take it away and show it how to jump a fence before sending it back for another bash. |
|
By:
indeed. poor thing looked deranged even pre-race. either carrying an unknown injury or ralphy put too much petrol in

Sky said the earliest racing can resume is 7.30 but that is unlikely. Doubtful they can complete the remaining 5 races

last race due off 22.05

Still not resolved and I wonder if the "antis" have got hold of it yet. They will surely make a meal of this if the poor beast has suffered and had to be euthanised.

Going back to the original post what is now the reason for the delay? They have said the horse is okay a while ago. It's either terrible communication, or Apiaffi isn't doing his job.

I doubt if the course are too bothered. No refund as 2 races run; bars open; nothing to distract from the drinking. Probably get away with keeping the prize money for the last 5 races. I'd say they are made up. I am at a loss to understand why there is still a delay as well DD

Sky are too busy with Ascot ads to inform us

and there are those who want more racecourses to move to atr

What is the point of having an on course reporter? Can you imagine if this was mainstream and nobody bothered to find out what was going on?
|
|
By:
The 6.30 delayed due to a collapsed paddock, but they're sorting that out.
|
|
By:
To be fair he has interviewed plenty of people. Nothing about the delay though
|

By:
I know someone on track and he is none the wiser

Horse is not on his way back to the stables

By:
The longer this goes on the more likely an abandonment
|
|
By:
Sorry that should say now

Apiafi is truly awful and useless and is on all the time! You couldn't make it up. What are they doing? Told us horse was out of open ditch and coming round ages ago.

@BHAStewards R3 @UttoxeterRaces . Due to the ongoing treatment of a horse on the racecourse the delay is continuing. We will continue to give further updates at the very earliest opportunity. 7:53 PM · Jun 9, 2022·Twitter Web App |

Two fat ladies, 88! Not that you'd find these ladies at a bingo hall, of course... they're altogether a higher class of fat lady.

Hard to see how they will allow racing to continue after 830 as the majority of the crowd are here for the dj

Martin Kemp DJ Set starts: 8:50pm -and no chance of putting that back I'd guess.

Utterly shambolic!
|
|
By:
No horses in the parade ring so unlikely to have more than one more race due to entertain after racing people already by the stage
|
|
By:
Just leaving the abandonment announcement til about 8.30 I reckon to keep people there
|
|
By:
Farcical scenes.

By:
Horse fine racing will resume as quickly as possible
Not convinced myself |

wouldnt happen on rtv. no horse ever gets injured, all punters win and everyone goes home happy

By:
factoring in 3 false starts; starter telling them to "take another turn" x 47 ; 3 horses being walked to the start and a couple of "low sun" issues we might get 2 races
