"maybe you don't realize the unbidden behind many of your raves!!"
I think what is in play here @Thomass is styles about how ones goes about propagating for perceived needed change!
Personally, the internet has its merits for getting like minded people better organized! To form a rational approach and a battle plan! To collectively challenge to charge 'the rules'.
Your approach, 'raves', to me! have way to flowery prose! your use of certain words, as in CHEAT! if used in the same way in a Public forum I recon would bring you plenty of grief!
Yes! do your study, report if in 4 races, x and y (it doesn't actually matter about the individual does it?), broke the rules! Over time will not this prove that the rules 'are not working', or????
I will admit! perhaps my views are biased towards many of the woman riders that I know personally! who really do have to put up with some vile crap thrown at them via the net!!!
ps. don't spend to much time worrying about a reply! that is my opinion and I am sticking firmly to it!! rave over and out!!!
Violence ? elbowing ? Crimes committed ? Battering rams ? just another day at the races lol.
Thomass needs to follow a more 'Gentle' sport . for his own sanity. She's a rough and Tumble game.
As Murray has said here , you need an ambulance in attendance before anyone can go to work.
Pushing out in races has happened ( for centuriee nearly) Is part of what most would expect in a race ? . I've had wheels and legs jammed under my horse that many times from inside runners that it's like rush hour on the Auckland M1,( but with less stack up's) because the fearless combatants can take a bit of 'Battering rams' and go with the flow.
Alas in this case Win Pinn decided to lean back in and not go with the flow at al , causing the incident . a few elbows out for balance and that , but Violence ?? No way. just riders trying to get to the post in best possible position .
The young lady possibly coming out a bit too hard, but like Chief says it's a pretty heavy animal at 500kg , and sometimes they react sharply , and are indeed great battering Rams ! they love it too. 😎🏇👍
So the Stipes dished out the penalties as they see fit . Racing incident with errors made in the heat of battle. No Need to get the Police involved 😂
Tu Tangata is only getting appearance money though for running 5ths!
The thing is Paul does use other drivers on his horses but for some unknown reason seems to continue in the cart with Tu Tangata ?
The days of in field 'picnics' are over that's for sure
It's like the 'idiot' who decided to name the "Souff and Norf Islands" North and South Islands
...decided to insert the black tar sealed car park directly behind the winning post...in field picnics on black tar seal?? na thanks
Imagine if Royal Ascot decided to do the same? King Charles and Camilla wouldn't tolerate it
and nor should we
