The stewards report from the Yarmouth race is below

Race 2 - 2:40pm
THE BODHI SOLUTIONS HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 3)


An enquiry was held into the start of this race and the participation of ALMATY STAR drawn 13, ridden by Jack Mitchell. The rider and the Starter were interviewed and shown recordings of the start. The Stewards considered that the gelding was prevented from starting on equal terms due to having its head was turned to the side, leaning on the guard rail and Mitchell being unable to remove the blindfold and therefore did not have full control of his mount as the gates opened, resulting in the gelding being slowly away and detached from the field. The Stewards ordered that ALMATY STAR be declared a non-runner.

but a horse whipping round at the start or digging its heels in and taking no part in a race is declared a runner...some of the rules are just farcical.

I think the Rule over the jumps is if you line up your under orders.

If you think your not gonna run then get off the Horse.

That makes sense to me to be honest.

However Jockeys are not gonna think of people who have had a bet.
