Don't know how you blokes are struggling with this race so much 😎. these gallopers all seem 'very finicky' about what distance they race over . There were 4 nice horses racing over 1400m. At 1400m Orchestral 2 starts for just one x 2nd placing, Shamus with 8 starts for 4 wins, Acquarello 4 starts for a win and a 2nd, Pour the Wine 2 starts for one x 2nd placing at 1400. Shamus all day looks the winner then . get ya money on. looks a special 💰. 🏇😉 -

Uh? I don't believe this. @the galah is advocating for someone who clearly cheated amd broke the rules of racing. Hitting a horse with your leg can accrue a major advantage. Only one option disqualify horse and driver. -

Uh? So Grylls hunts Orhestral up 2 lengths at the 800m to trail the leader closer. The leader is stacking them in a sit sprint what is Grylls going to do next? Wait for luck while losing momentum? No if he had hooked back and started to go round them at say the 600m at worst he'd be 4 wide but with clear air and will have put the mares staying ability into play. Although obviously not apparent in race 1 in later races the winners were trucking down the centre of the track. -
She was THREE lengths off the lead at the 800M Punter's had the ABSOLUTE right to expect Grylls to kick up behind the leader to be handy on the turn... off a slow pace Pulling back would've made it even more impossible from 4/5 lengths behind the leader on the turn -
Stipes decisions are quite often difficult to make . some of the jockey ones in close finishes cause people to be agree with the decision or refute it greatly. No jockey ever says he deliberately bumped the other horse etc . The stewards just have to decide on whether the horse 'would of Won or not , if it wasn't for the incident that occured. when A horse changing racing line etc. This decision with the dropped foot seems huge . as a disqualification is quite brutal (for connections and Punters) I don't think the decision was based on whether the horse was going to win or Not, but the act that was applied between driver and horse . The heavy Penalty has One Serious Advantage . It will STOP/deter others making that error in the future. Here are the DisQualification rules for Australian harness racing . I would say the Stewards applied the Last 2 Clauses . You could say they have an argument For these clauses. but it does seem Harsh, as the horse Won Super Well . Disqualification 64. If a horse fails to start in a race from its correct handicap mark or its correct barrier position it may be disqualified or declared a non-starter in that race. 65. If the Stewards find that a horse or a trainer or driver was ineligible to compete in a race they may disqualify the horse from the race or declare such horse a non-starter and make any consequent changes to the placings. 66. A horse may be disqualified from a race or placed in a lower finishing position in a race if the horse - (a) crosses a horse without being clear of it; (b) jostles or interferes with a horse unless solely in response to the action taken by another horse or driver; (c) forces a passage where there is insufficient room; (d) forces a horse out of its ground; (e) races on the inside of a marker post or if its sulky or part thereof goes on the inside of a marker post; (f) interferes with another runner so as to cause that runner, or cause its sulky or any part thereof, to go inside a marker post; (g) being in the home straight and having a clear uninterrupted run to the post, changes course and thereby prejudices or advantages the chances of another runner. (h) gains an unfair advantage. (i) is driven in a manner prejudicial or detrimental to the reputational interests of harness racing.
