A Non Jigger

The Dundalk stewards seem to be the only ones in Ireland who dare question the untouchables, didn't they ban the chosen one when he was going for the apprentice title, a deserved ban btw but of course they appealed and the result of the appeal was inevitable, ban reduced, hence allowed Joseph to dead heat for the title.

As for the race in question not exactly a rare occurrence Gotchee a Ballydoyle supposed 2nd string getting an easy, the commentator says in running Just Pretending trying to stay on, trying??.

You will ate me The Gotchee but i,m not sure i totally agree(not disagreeing either} The race for Just Pretending was finished when getting boxed in behind the weakening Island In The Sun, a poor ride or a g0od one considering the sp? Nearly certainly would have won if anywhere near the front given the manner she travelled and has mostly been ridden that way since.

A more "professional" job and not as blatent as the Laetitia garroting at Cork in 2005 but well strangled all the same.

ATR showed a re-run of Ted Veales win at Bellewstown to say the run of stablemate Blackmail running on under the minimum assistance was eyecatching is an understatement.

this goes on all the time.......one thing is sure........teh big guns never get pulled in

Thanks Gotchee for the thread, serious non trier Dundalk had two stone in hand. Blatant from jockey, horse probably not fully fit but nice big horse and deliberate imo.
