    • The Judges erred.  How can removing your foot from the footrest and letting you leg hang and hit a horse be accidental?  FFS why didn't they accidentally put it back immediately!
    • I was putting up a straw man because you were wanting consistency.  If you make the penalties fixed you get nothing but consistency.
    • There have been one or two instances of abandonments where a fair number wanted to keep riding.  Overruled by a couple of senior Jockeys.  Not sure they were riding at Matamata.  Certainly not in the first 3 races.
    • I was saying the chiefs suggestion that you disqualify everyone,whether it be accidental or not ,would be a consistent outcome. I was not agreeing with the chiefs suggestion,quite the opposite. So yes gammalite ,i agree with your point that every case is different. i actually referenced the tasmanian race you refer to and suggested someone put a video up of it to show an example of hocking. i did that when i started the topic about the moran drive,on another thread, about 2 weeks ago. If you saw the video of that,there is no way anyone could ever compare what moran did to what the tasmainain driver did. i also have referenced the queensland race from last year and suggested that video be put up. again that was an example of hocking ,but it could only be compared to the tasmanian driver in that he hocked for 3 strides,nothing anywhere near as bad as the tasmanian driver. And of course,as i've said several times now,that queensland driver got off on appeal ,despite it being acknowledged that he made contact 3 times. you see the appeal judges found it may have been accidental. Just like at hawera at the weekend. anyway,i did like the photos of the galahs you posted. and i could see your little dogs face in the side mirror watching them. I enjoy seeing those type of posts. it reminds me of when we  had a wonderful wee dog. He was like a son in a lot of ways. keep up the good work.
    • Of the tracks where the meetings have been abandoned I'm surprised Matamata was one. I guess the jockeys have been given a directive around how they deal with riding or not riding.  Possibly a unique situation where jockeys are self employed but also in the jockeys room are apprentices who work for an employer.
