well that was a debacle of a start and i hope they fine the starter,as punters who backed sweet reine were robbed blind due to his ignoring an obviouse false start. How the starter didn't see what was happening was ridiculous. The horse that galloped drew beside sweet reine and took sweet reine out of the race 150m before the start drew a position right behind the mobile where the starter sits . And he surely should have been looking there ,because there was also another horse directly behind where he sits, preventing sweet reine taking up its position before the other horse wiped it out pre start. sweet reine was at least 10 lengths off the back of the field after the interference. Then driver l o'reilly understandably just seemed content on following them around as he had no show . But then he actually pulled it to the very outside and flew home from last and goytt up for 4th. And becaus eh e got up for 4th,that meant he couldn't be late scratched because he finished in a dividend bearing position. So,in effect punters who backed it each way or in quinellas and trifectas and first 4's or quaddies ,well they were robbed. the whole thing was an absolute debacle. -
I reckon the West Indies have finished early today so they can take in Out the Gate and Manawatu Trots 😁 -
