How many horses in the history of world pool have been deemed non runners post race under these type of rules?
What other countries even use this type of rule?
I'm asking as people are saying WP affected the decision.
Also how did it affect the WP?

Are jockeys going to start pulling up soon after stalls open if they think some random      infraction or event has occurred, like blindfolds, head hitting stalls, stumbles due to a stone or wind blows a bag over course, horse had a fly in its eye ect ect ect.

It was the slowest Derby in over 40 years! Given his flop at Donny he had absolutely no chance.

It was 3.5 secs slower than the Coronation.

The stall handler spotted that the hoss had its leg trapped.

On that basis (the horse was identified as being at a disadvantage) the decision to declare the jolly a nonner was the correct decision.

Almost every thread you post on descends into a playground quarrel. The forum is a shadow of its former self anyway, so why not call a truce and not constantly have a pop at each other. Asking to show a post of a bet is pointless, easily edited unless it's a photo and even that can be worked on. As for the other, posting snippets after the event (not necessarily on this thread) doesn't help your credibility.

Good luck to both.

Report kincsem June 8, 2026 11:50 AM BST
The worst officiating in the Derby since the 1913 Derby.

There is no mention in the BHA rules about jockey tactics.
The Stewards may declare a horse a non-runner where:  In a Race started from starting stalls, a horse is denied a fair start, and its chances are materially affected ...

We heard that if Benvenuto Cellini finished first he would have been the winner.
Did his slow start, losing at most two lengths, cause him to lose the race by 26 lengths?
The horse was not denied a fair start by a person (the starter; or a stalls handler) or a failure of the stalls.
If a stalls handler had blocked the horse exiting the stalls then that might be "denied a fair start".

The BHA rules say "may declare a horse a non-runner" not "must declare a horse a non-runner"

The error was two-fold
(1) the horse was not denied a fair start
(2) its chances were not materially affected

I rarely post on other threads anyway, occasionally due to time constraints and several are simply a collection of childish bickering anyway as i pointed out.

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).

Both of these issues mean there is no way it should be declared a NR. Basically on the 'why' that is even written into their rules. But why have rules if you can just ignore them.
