Was Hosaamm declared a runner?

yes.

Hosaamm, who's got previous for refusing, wasn't going anywhere, so why he wasn't withdrawn after the first false start, you'd have to ask the starter, as it appears he has been declared a 'runner'.

No it wasn't, look on here

sorry meant not a non runner, though should have prob been

wasn't being held when the flag was dropped...clear refusal

= a runner

IF  horse takes no active poart why should people lose their money?

rules are archaic and embarrassing.,

Yet a rule has been brought in whereby horses that lose ground at the start can be deemed a NR under NH rules?

It should not have been but Im glad it was as I laid it when it was mucking about

horses denied a fair start not caused by themselves

So all those non-jiggers out the back at sharp tracks like Huntingdon and Ludlow, all going to be declared NRs?

* lining up out the back

no

And if the leaders go off like the clappers and stop, are the stewards going to study the sectionals and say, actually, you were probably at an advantage being slowly away?

no. the new rule covers a reasonably niche scenario where the horse had its chance compromised by a starting error. not a scenario where the jockey wants it to be at the back, or the horse doesn't fancy racing today.

Any instances yet, or past instances where the new rule could have been applied iyo?

none so far

Its a matter of time before this results in a race being turned into a mockery

In Frogland they declare a faux depart, bring em back and it is given another chance or withdrawn, depending on the starters view. Seems unfair on the others but thats what happens

I know this because I did what I like to do here and lay refusers but in this case the thing changed its mind and won. big loss

slightly different being the flat but the thirsk 1 earlier this year with the 3rd place NR was a total sh1tshow

"After an initial false start, the start was effected successfully on the second attempt. However, having reviewed recordings of the false start, the Starters were satisfied that no riders should be reported for contravening the starting procedures.

Having reviewed the start, the Stewards were satisfied that HOSAAMM had refused to race after the start was effected and was therefore deemed a runner."

Hughes probably saw betting 11 t0 4 out to 6,s and thought WHY BOTHER

Hence why the tw0t could have let them go first time, instead of being the centre of attention....

They will be perfecting their ineptitude with an eye of repeating last year’s dismal effort at Cheltenham in the festival.

horse teks no part and punters loses his money..rules are a fckn outdated embarrassment.
