unlike Doyle.

RE: Annandale

Jim Goldie is evidently targeting these bonuses, having won the £100K Sunday Series one recently, and last winter / spring he had Bonito Cavalo in contention for the Arc £100K all-weather bonus, but it was won by a middle distance horse - Charlie Johnston's Artisan Dancer.

I don't know if that all-weather bonus is being offered again for the next all-weather season, but Annandale won at Newcastle back in the day off 74, now down to 59. So potentially plenty of wriggle room there to rack up the points whilst moving back up the handicap.

Not saying that is the plan, but a belated reappearance and both runs back under an inexperienced 7lb claimer. Has Jim got a winter plan for this one?

Annandale, actually 24lb below its last winning mark on turf, and only had the six AW starts.

I think Jim must lie in bed every night dreaming about those lovely £100K bonuses!

Would be harsh to give the lad a lengthy ban IMO.
Very unlucky to get joined right on the line having given it everything for 99% of the race.

Mitigation would be justified but the hawks want him hangedMischief

Stewards must think butter wouldn't melt in Doyle's mouth.

The incident at Kempton last week involving Harry Davies, where Doyle tried to put in him a pocket and after he'd come off second best, appeared to be letting his mouth off at Davies after the line.

Davies got five days for "improper riding", which seemed very harsh imo. But evidently the stewards took the side of Doyle in the enquiry, as they would do again at Windsor.

Rico, you can freeze the replay and see that Shepherd stood up in the saddle clearly before the line, which was unfortunate as he'd given it quite a strong ride up to that point.

-----------------------------------------------------

he stopped riding 5 yards before the line Mr.Hunt...

they do it probably every race every day (or just about)...

only difference here is it may (and i have no idea) have cost him outright 1st place...

it's a clear cut case...

even James Millman mentioned it early doors (pretty much as soon as they announced the photo coz i think initially he thought Shepherd had held on)...

it's ban worthy...

you can't stop riding (even one stride from the line) then get nabbed and get away with it i'm afraid...

i doubt even James Doyle would've escaped punishment on that one...

you never know tho.

Ride your race past the line. Is this not too difficult?
By:
HappyHibby
When: 22 Aug 24 08:40
all he had to do was keep pushing for one more stride Trident...

why they try and be 'cheeky' is something i will never understand tbh...

is it a) trying to hoodwink the handicapper (and when you are talking about heads and necks it makes no difference anyway) or

b) trying to look good  for the cameras ?

absolute madness...

as i say they deserve getting banned for their utter stupidity imv.

No excuse foe it but it's just human nature, happens in loads of sports.

Footballers trying to chip penalty kicks
Golfers back handing short putts and missing.
Athletes trying to be smart in heats, easing down and losing or even in finals
Rugby players diving over the line when no need to do so and dropping the ball 
Cyclists in the tour de france easing down in sprints 
Basketball players missing slam dunks

Doesn't make it right but it's not just racing
