I'm sure a case can be made for making the horse a non-runner I haven't seen a credible case made, only clown analysis |

The key point of this horse case is not 'did it have a fair/equal start' - it obviously didn't, but around 30% of all runners have that problem from starting stalls for various reasons/behaviour. The key points are: Why did this happen (horse behaviour only) and did it stop it running a race with a winning chance (no, it was around midfield during the race, if it stayed on powerful it could have won or placed). the only consideration is was the horse denied a fair start? of which the answer is no the horse's own behaviour contributed to not getting a fair start completely different |

with access to a phone BOG,extra place,s, etc not sure how much business on course bookies expected to do with people only attracted to come by there been a
fairground pop concert Ibiza,etc vibes hardly any view of the actual races on the Fri apparently what little bets were taken were from 2 large families present, if they,d had a good day the bookies were fooked anyway, any punters could do all their business online and spend their time with their family enjoying the facilities that attracted them to go in 1st place, to a punter the cheapest tkts in the stands would be miniscule in comparison to travel,eating,drinking costs for the day |
