how much did you limit the damage in the stewards?
|
|
By:
never done anything.

By:
was a poor decision, minefield nowadays.

A 7ib claimer up against an experienced jockey in the enquiry could not have helped.

it did force 2nd 5-6 yds off its true path so as said wasnt a gimme...

George Baker called it 30 secs after crossing the line

looks like the stewards failed in Pythagoras's theorem again
if it was moved 6yds across the track over a furlong, it lost 3 inches. |

TM helped out backers of the winner IMO by really riding out to line. That prob made all the difference in the SE. Buick or Dettori would have lost 1l in same situation and prob wouldnt have got it reversed

from Sporting Life race write up...
ran on well inside final 110 yards, found extra when pressed near finish, just did enough (finished 1st, placed 2nd) op 18/1 How can the stewards say for sure that the second past the post would have won ! |
|
By:
cant..just their opinion.
|
|
By:
but if they cant say for definite, then they shouldnt amend the result

Yeah fair play to Baker. He quickly said the fpp was in danger. He said the original 2nd had been carried 6 horse widths across the track. Didn't look that way from the side-on but it wasn't far off when you saw the head-on. I was surprised the fpp was quite that short in the stewards betting. I would agree with Rico that it wasn't certain the runner-up would have won though.

By:
my argument in this scenario always is..the winner has also cost itself ground drifting 5-6yds right.
|
|
By:
Yeah that ties in with the would it have won thinking. I think you should need the 2nd to be finishing much quicker than the fpp. They used to require that before changing result but not anymore.

When Sky Lantern was carried across the course and lost a big race at Newmarket July, the stewards didn't amend. The Hannons appealed and lost, I vaguely remember the BHA saying something about their guidance saying the distance lost by being carried across the course for a long distance was quite small. Local stewards seem to be ignoring that.
