Did that guy who commentates the trials at Winton go into a frenzy over it ? -

You don't know that because you never examined the dog. Proof? Evidence not opinion. In your opinion. Your solution to the alleged problem is? -
Look at the replay I had first provided & tell me at what point the dog was injured during the race. You won't be able to because an injury never occurred. If a Steward is going to press an FTP charge, it gets a post-race vet check regardless of whether it appeared it could have been injured or not. There was a collusion between the trainer & the vet. The trainer simply told what was required from the vet and they obliged. These types of collusions have been going on for years and still exist today, as I've highlighted on another thread with dogs getting nominated only to be scratched the day before race day. -

Warmonger ridden by Blake Shinn takes out the Group 1 Queensland Derby at Eagle Farm. Photo: Darren Winningham Warmonger (+850) has given his rivals a galloping lesson in the Group 1 Queensland Derby (2400m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday afternoon, pulling away to score an impressive 10-length victory. The Group 1 South Australian Derby (2500m) runner-up looked to have it all to do pre-race, with most judges mapping the son of War Decree to drag back towards the rear of the field from barrier 18; however, Blake Shinn had other ideas. The Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr)-trained gelding was sent forward early in the contest, proving to be the winning move for the three-year-old, as Shinn gained an economical run in transit. He hadn’t shown much early speed in the past, but with Navy King (+1200) charging forward under Craig Williams, it allowed Shinn to work his mount towards the front of the field, while the pair of pre-race favourites, Autumn Angel (+130) and Tannhauser (+360), were forced to work from awkward positions in the strung-out field. Moonlight Magic (+2500) and Felix The Scat (+7000) added some massive value to exotic players, but they were simply fighting out the minor money, as Shinn pulled the whip with 500m to travel, bursting clear of his rivals to assure a dominant victory in the 2024 Queensland Derby. 2024 Queensland Derby replay – Warmonger Michael Kent (Jnr) was on course to represent the stable and credited his team before praising the brave steer by Shinn. “He’s just flying, credit to the whole team, the horse took the travel well to Queensland,” said Kent (Jnr). “The query was getting through the wet track, Blake (Shinn) said it was more like a heavy than a soft. “During the race I’m thinking what are you thinking here Blake, but he just made all the right calls. By putting him into the race and when that leader got away you had to be near the pace. In the end it was just a huge staying performance by the horse. “He obviously handled the ground very well, he’s a kiwi so he was born in it, but he clearly relished the stamina test today.” Blake Shinn was delighted with the win in his post-race assessment. “What a great run by that horse,” said Shinn. “He did it the tough way but he was comfortable. I just wanted to make sure he kept going on his run. He did it tough. “It was a bit of a track gallop for him. He enjoyed it. He had his ears pricked down the back. He could see Navy King up in front. I asked him to extend from the 500 (metre mark) and he just kept building. I made sure he kept going to the line, but the horse really deserved it. “He’s been putting up some great displays in running second and it was really well deserved. I’m grateful for the ride.” Horse racing news View the full article -
Terrible look isn't it. Riccarton got lots of flak when everyone headed to the outside fence, so they had to even it up. No one seems to bother about Wanganui. Horrible racing. It looked like a poor ride by Allpress on the southerner in the feature mile. She covered so much extra ground getting to the outside. The art is to get there as easily as possible, but she is the expert so I suppose she knew what she was doing.
