NO there was one inquiry - two protests.
If you are counting protests as inquiries there was 4 - 2x8, 1x9 and 1x10.
Not that I see your point anyway.
The way I saw the 3rd vs 1st and 2nd was an afterthought and the trainer was late to the room.
There was ample time to resolve the inquiry if they hadn't pissed around. They could have heard the Jockey arguments first and excused them. The issue with deferring the inquiries is the TAB payouts would have been held up until probably after the last race.
sigh, just another day of Chaos at the coalface!
I could add that our feed (via fast fiber) HUNG!!!!!! multiple times during the running of about three races!!!!!
ps. One for the haters!!! Personally, I was rewarded for all the study that I put in! I had my most bets at one meeting since this meeting last year! this year 5 races were bet into! but, yet again, the actual tv coverage of the horses is sadly rather lacking for a punter like me who actually bets Because of What my Punting Eye see'$.. rave over, looking over at that Exit side just over there! i continue my needed focus for that sort of thing to be happening!
Yes but only the first 2 delayed subsequent races with the third being an inquiry into the last checking if Mid Ocean got a fair start. It was an open and shut case so to speak.
Although I'm sure you'd argue Mid Ocean actually got a length advantage by forcing the gates.
