Or should say that she felt the horse was going to hang..... 
Happened before with two winning posts but a half furlong pole?
New one for me.

Maybe they need to have a big thick white line where the winning line is, like they superimpose on the telly

be thinking about jacking the game in if you laid "the winner" at 31.0 [BSP] 
Made a mistake...a BIG ONE ( how do they not realise the jam stick is coloured red )... still not as bad as easing one knowingly before the line and trying to win cleverly which happens in the majority of cases like this.
definitely didn't ease up before the line.
good 100 yards

But even if she thought the half furlong pole was the winning line, she STILL dropped her hands before then which is a mortal sin as far as the rules go. The rule is something along the lines of driving the horse all the way to the finishing line. Dropping hands before the finishing line used to be a very common occurrence 20 years ago, but since in-running betting became a thing they tightened that rule up.
Not even the Grail system could get her a Winner in the last. 
Just put it down to a bad day at the office, Liz.

She made a genuine mistake, maybe time to do away with the half-furlong pole.
But Doyle dropped his hands and got 0 days.
Shepherd dropped his hands and ended up with 0 days.
I hope they don't make an example of her but they almost certainly will, for a genuine mistake.

then every jockey could walk into a stewards armed with a recording of what Doyle did and just say "it was about as bad as that and he got nada". end of enquiry.
if she thinks on her feet, 'The horse made a noise, call me a liar'

Kilbeggan stewards believed Rachel so probably worth a shot ...

Biggest crime is standing up in the saddle and dropping her hands without looking over her shoulder.
She gaves it 6 cracks of the shelailigh from two out.
Decent enough ride until the brain fart.

I've met Lizzie several times and she rides our syndicate horse Tapley.
She is the most joyful and engaging person you could ever meet through horse racing and she has had plenty of very positive feedback from various sources.
This was an absolute horror show, no getting away from that and she'll be hurting now big time.

Slippy ffs she is a 7lb claimer learning her trade, in the heat of a close finish she made a mistake. no one died ffs.
Second in the last as well she looks like a good rider.
Surely given the time of day she could have used a 'low sun' excuse, and if she wasn't facing the sun, just conjure something up about a reflection in her goggles.
James Doyle could not even smooth talk his way out of that one.
Conditional jockey Elizabeth Gale has been banned for 28 days after appearing to mistake the half-furlong pole for the winning line in the 2m7f handicap hurdle.
The 7lb claimer, who was riding Catuaba for her boss Charlie Longsdon, stood up in her irons at the half-furlong pole when her mount held a length lead over The Bold Thady.
Dylan Johnston kept in the drive position on The Bold Thady, who headed Catuaba in the final strides as Gale eased up on the 15-2 shot.
Gale resumed riding once spotting the eventual 25-1 winner on her outside, but it was too late as Catuaba was beaten a head.
Gale was accompanied by multiple Grade 1-winning rider Gavin Sheehan in a stewards’ inquiry, where the 22-year-old was banned for 28 days for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to obtain the best possible placing on a horse who would have finished first.
Longsdon, who had been preparing Gale’s next mount, Ikigai Star, for the following race during the inquiry, told Sky Sports Racing: “The worst thing is she’s given him the best ride I’ve seen that horse [been given]. He’s not a straightforward horse. He’s not always the most genuine.
“She’s stolen the race turning in and then that happens. I feel gutted for her. It’s a genuine mistake, but she’s got to take her punishment. Some people say it’s happened a few times here before, and maybe we should take the half-furlong pole away, but there’s no excuses.”
Gale was having her 111th ride under rules, with her sole winner for Longsdon having been when helping Catuaba justify 5-2 favouritism at Stratford in July.
Her nine domestic winners include success in a £35,000 veterans’ handicap chase aboard Celebre D'Allen for Philip Hobbs and Johnson White last October.
Ikigai Star was second under Gale in the 2m handicap hurdle for conditional riders after the stewards’ inquiry.
Gale becomes the second rider to receive a 28-day ban for failing to ride out to the line recently, after Alec Voikhansky was given the same punishment at Bath last month.
Callum Shepherd also had an 18-day ban for the same offence at Kempton overturned on appeal last Tuesday.

to be fair wouldn't have much confidence in a jock giving it the big drop him right on the line blah,blah pre race but in a race cant tell/estimate the finishing line within half a furlong after the last and even more as she was already beginning to ease off before the half furlong marker
Rico - absolutely! :)
GEORGE - ..... or the windscreen wipers on her goggles had broken! :)
