IR Carnage

did Chosen Comrade go wrong side ?

think the winners taken the wrong course

if the winner went the wrong way it's a funny lay out

at least 6 could be disqualified here

winner took corrrect course surely ??

need to see it again, some went one side some went the other.  either way must be a gaggle of dq's

1 9 12 went "correct" way. Ain't announced stewards yet

we had one last yr in the uk where this happened and they then said not part of the course

everything that went round that barrier ran off the course then ....

stupid start so close to barrier (or stupid place to put barrier)

re watched-stupid jockeys. Just announced winner alright

winner alright just announced at the track

unless there's clear instruction as to which side to go they'll ignore it

unless there's clear instruction as to which side to go they'll ignore it

ok.  so why's it there ?

stewards want an on-time getaway. Just crazy

may be a guide for a hurdle before or a hurdle removed, which is what it was last year, as it was also a nhf then they ignored it

Guy on commentary was sure only 3 took proper course and all others would be disqualified,now I'm seeing weighed in ???

would have been some carnage if one of the outside runners had won-assuming incorrectly that it would lead to a DQ

that's the racecourse.  where they are to run.

and that's all bar 3 of them running off the track and should therefore be disqualified.

if it is the winner was correct so why are you shouting it as a dq?

Looking for the better ground

if you don't disqualify them, you have to disqualify the winner which has just run round the inside of the track

my point is someone has taken the wrong course Elise.  if going round the inside and gaining several lengths was the wrong course then the winner is thrown out.  and the 2 that followed it.

well maybe as i said the marker isn't in play and they can go either side

I was on Katies Melody......I want him DQ'd

the "birch" rule. It was obvious

and the hurdle / nhf course is on the inner so the winner is still ok

the marker is clearly "in play".  look at the first picture.  the markers are all in play, they designate the racecourse

ok well you'd best get yourself a job as a steward as i don't think they agree with you

i would say the three that went to the left are ok, including the winner.  every other horse should be disqualified for not taking the correct course.

think the winners taken the wrong course

well at least you're on track with that bit now

the thing is, they've fked up with the layout.  so there's nothing to see here.  if they admit they fkd up they have to chuck everything out bar the 3 that went to the left of the course marker.

Happened in an English flat race as well. Thirsk. Rail in the middle of the track. One went the 'right' side of it, everyone assumed it would be thrown out but wasn't. The one that people assumed took the wrong course finished second.

ive tried explaining that cider but hulk likes a drama, have fun

i was the only person to spot it. 


remember that before you have a go.  every other person watching that race didn't have a clue.

boosha

Was trading like 8s when it looked like it would pass the post first as it got a big lead, could have been painful for some in runners.

Did they have a stewards enquiry or not ?

keep dreaming hulk

No enquiry at Thirsk or Tip

no snowy, no stewards

no stewards

and once again, if you can go either side of a barrier in the middle of a racetrack.  lets call it a "hazard" (at least one horse almost ran into it). 

why is it there ? 

the answer is it is there to mark the racecourse.  which is to the left of the barrier.  and if you went to the right.  come to the stewards room and we'll discuss how long your ban is.

Thanks ,Elise ,I was on one of the 3 that took the "correct " course according to the co commentator on 365 anyway ,he was convinced mine would be placed third .

except we won't cos it makes us look incompetent ...

I was the only person to spot it


What a clown

should be snowy. 

but they can't do that because they'd have to DQ everything that took the wrong course.  which would be far too controversial. 

should be 3 completed the course.

In Thirsk I believe it was another start. The scenario was that Thirsk is a very wide track, and they can't or don't water out very wide. So David Allen I think it was, was drawn widest and decided to take the hard ground course, giving up ground. He obviously knew the rules, and nearly pulled it off.

you saw it to meany

yawn.

cider, if it was thirsk you rem then there might be another because i rem a stewards called where they then blamed the track for not marking or removing something i think

Might well have been another one, at Thirsk it looked like a random bit of rail, hard to believe it was considered part of the course and not delineating the course. Something to remember with this lack of rain possibly!

that's the racecourse.  look at where the man with the flag and big white coat is standing, he is on the "racetrack"

if you go to the right of that barrier you are no longer on the "racetrack".  you have Run Out. 

and you should therefore be disqualified.

yes i found it it was august, ty

there was one at Warwick a few years ago...

just as they come off that bend after the long run down the hill...

a few of them went around the 'obstacle' thingy and a few went inside it...

stewards decided it was there as 'guidance' or something and not as an 'outer edge of the course' thingy.

No birch attached to rail = Whatever you're having yourself..
