      bad day for becker

      By Gammalite · Posted

      horses are notorious for tangling once they get away on the driver.  Horses behaviour is quite uncontrolled at this stage.  The driver steers the horse around markers . not the horse itself. Of course with no pressure on the reigns the horse will go 'Anywhere' .  Didn't you see Tony Herlihy on that Cullen runner that snapped a reign in the Group 1 Christian Cullen Cup week. ?? He was just on a ride to no-where after that. Horse nearly took John Dunn out with it as it went cross country on the inside at the Addington Back straight. and it still had the driver . I thought it was gunna hit the light pole for sure.  Anyway , throw the book at the Juniors if you think it would help 🤣. I don't think it was/or would help . 🤭🍋 Here's a poor bugger without the driver in photo  . a beautiful animal too.  Can you pick him ???   Ran 4th chasing the field in this very Big Final even without his driver  . probably win it if managed to keep driver 😉 lol. What a trier he was !! 🏆😎

      They'll probably upgrade it to a G2. Entire meeting there today wasn't a great undercard , a lot of scratching though ,but awfully boring racing.

      No extra pressure for Zac Purton as Ka Ying Rising bids for history at Sha Tin

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      Ka Ying Rising’s bid to equal Silent Witness’ Hong Kong record of 17 consecutive victories is “just another race” for a composed Zac Purton, who is just focusing on getting the job done in Sunday’s Group One Centenary Sprint Cup (1,200m). The David Hayes-trained superstar, who was crowned Timeform’s Horse of the Year and the joint second-best horse in the Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings earlier this week, will level the record that has stood since 2005 if he manages to defeat a field of...View the full article

      bad day for becker

      By the galah · Posted

      the best way to judge what happened is simple enough.Just look at the video gamma..  the video  shows the driverless horse followed a straight line for at least 200m ,maintaining the same inside running line as those in front of it for that 200m, prior to being forced to run over the markers as a result of the way c hackett drove. its not over complicated. Its what happened. as to your suggestion drivers should focus on winning the race and show no awareness of what a driverless horse is doing to her inside.Thats very reckless and will result in accidents happening.If you want an example of that,go watch the race inquestion. and you seem to be inferring becker,the horse, saw the markers,had the choice of running beside them unimpeded or jumping them and decided  jumping them was the best option them .what?. and when you said no driverless horse is going to run around a track against the markers without a driver. Well,the best way to see what a horse will do,is simple. Just watch what it does.. While i haven't had much experience of that,i can certainly tell you,the last couple of times i had a loose horse,it went out onto the track,did a couple of rounds against the markers then just came over to say hullo again while i waited for it to stop.. I've never had a driverless one evertake the option of  jumping pylons. You would know that type of thing would only happen if the cart is not upright and the horse is panicing.horses aren't stupid.. anyways,your a loyal supporter of anyone and anything north island based,but i think its better to judge things on a case by case basis. and just because a race isn't called off when that may have been the best option,does not in any way  green light  subsequent dangerous driving.

      Wow what a crap field for the Group 3 Taranaki Cup.  It used to feature the best middle distance horses over 2000m run in mid February. Now a hack race over 1800m a month earlier.
