Carnage at Sedgefield

Oh deer!

On My

The biggest surprise is that the winner only had a quid matched at 999

When you think you've seen everything, that happens.

Not seen that before

**** for brains these jockeys you have to laugh.

Surprised the very fortunate F/c was only matched at 200s
30s beat 520s

Bad as I've seen in many a year.

The placepot should be decent, if you're still in it which I'm not of course.

Anything can happen in a horse race. Wow! Im still in the placepot though

Unbelievable Jeff !!

Gregory deserves 12 months for that.  Risked his and Quinlan's life to stop him coming up his inside.

Had £1 on Maisy at 550 two hurdles from the finish.

I thought that also - forced him out and his own horse thought it needed to go round it as well!

ali1959 spot on......absolutely disgraceful

Didn’t switch his stick through which i thought was telling

Haven't seen it for a 2nd time yet but that was definitely my first impression.
Surprised Quinlan didn't punch his lights out!

The fav tried put blue fin wide try and run it out and in the end screwed himself up.

Gregory on mexican boy yesterday was a mess. Got to be a huge ban for him hes squeezed him badly into th rail

Donkey Derby stuff

Straight F/cast only £287 ?

If you missed the race!

You can tell how much panicking there was.

The 500s+ shot was traded at 2s 50 lengths back behind the winner

but even more so the horse that fell down the back straight, Longstone Cowboy, smashed into 4s+ for a very large chunk,
despite running loose and the jockey on the ground

poor forcast 287.13

Should have picked up a bit of the busted rails and gave him a wallop

Stewards found the interference accidental after Rambo T jinked sharply left.
no riding offence involved.

Just watched it a couple more times - Gregory definitely at fault.
Endangered not only his own life but that of a fellow jockey and two horses...should (but probably won't) get a hefty ban and a big fine.

He didn't 'jink left', Gregory directed the poor horse towards the wing so it tried to duck out!
Stewards bottle it as always.
Still, race over, we move on.

Race 1 - 2:10pm
THE BEST ODDS GUARANTEED DAILY AT VICKERS.BET 'NATIONAL HUNT' NOVICES' HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) (GBB RACE)
An enquiry was held to consider interference approaching the final hurdle involving RAMBO T (IRE), which unseated its rider at the final hurdle, ridden by Fergus Gregory, and BLUE FIN (IRE), which was subsequently carried out, ridden by Sean Quinlan. The interference was found to be accidental and caused by RAMBO T (IRE) jinking sharply left-handed approaching the wing of the hurdle, bumping and badly hampering BLUE FIN (IRE) and causing that gelding to be pushed through the wing, resulting in Quinlan being unseated. As such, the Stewards deemed there was no riding offence involved.

just make it up as they go along this lot.  jinked left ?  absolute garbage.

Are they blind?

Every time Gregory sits on a horse its a riding offence

even master aftertimer lynch could see what happened but like all racing journo's was too sh!t scared to say anything ...  if you want an unbiased opinion from people whose jobs don't rely on telling the truth you're much better on here

it only jinked when it sensed the other leaning on it..but rambo had been nearest the hurdle from the top of the hill so jock on other should have came stand side imo.

How much?

"The interference was found to be accidental and caused by RAMBO T (IRE) jinking sharply left-handed approaching the wing of the hurdle"


If that's how they choose to interpret the rules Gregory is a lucky lucky boy, cause Quinlan was already going through the wing even if Rambo T hadn't jinked. Its not easy and maybe he would have run out anyway but you have two make sufficient effort to try and stop that happening. The stewards interpretation of this ensures it will keep happening until someone is killed one day. Utter madness!!

wasnt deliberate he was just holding his line..

delibarately holding his line

not entitled to?

there should be a rail in place. no rail is the cause of the incident. Because it wasn't there, it's difficult to tell from our angle if rambo moved from a line that would take it from nearer to the middle of the hurdle to one that took it to the far corner. It could be that the far side horse was "off the course" but had there been a rail there, that wouldn't have happened and it would have been clear if rambo was taking its ground.

Quinlan always looks as if he’s ready to get it on…..like Vernon from gold divers….a scrapper….imo

wotabout Mandingo from muff divers?

.but rambo had been nearest the hurdle from the top of the hill so jock on other should have came stand side imo.

That puts a different perspective on it. There was no room for the challenger to come up the inside at the hurdle unless the leader moved over.

Rambo didn't hold his line...even the stewards said he 'jinked' left.
I would still say Gregory intentionally took him left.
Had he kept him straight he would had hurdled the last a couple of sections nearer the middle, not right at the edge of the wing.

That doesn't seem to be the case to me. rambo took the second last flight at the edge of the hurdle and if you look at https://www.attheraces.com/atrplayer-popout/VOD/1347613?showResult=yes , when the last hurdle comes into view, about 4.50 on the vid, it is clear that blue fin is way outside the line of the hurdle course and that is nothing to do with rambo or his rider. rambo might even have tried to run out.

*then rambo might even have tried to run out on the approach to the hurdle.

Rambo didn't hold his line...even the stewards said he 'jinked' left.

yes it did..only when the other was leaning on it approaching the last 3yds

Not quite as bad but Quinlan, I'm sure, has done a lot of punters again.
