It may not be the only video evidence. There can be additional Stewards video and even the video you have seen in the replay will be at a higher definition than the public get to see. It should improve the Stewards image. They disqualified a horse under the rules of racing because the driver was caught hocking. Whether deliberate or accidental or careless is irrelevant. Now will there be an appeal against the disqualification? I don't know if the rules allow it but there could be. However it is clear that the rule was broken and the horses leg was touched by the boot of the driver. That is illegal. What would it have done for the image of racing if there had been an outcry from all and sundry about how a driver in a race kicked a horse and nothing was done about it!!!! In saying that, not that I have read everything you have written on the subject, I think you don't disagree with some action being taken just think that the disqualification was over the top. -

ORCHESTRAL (C Grylls) - Slow to begin. When questioned, the rider advised that the mare had been unsuited by the pace of the race and that he had been satisfied with the performance. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which did not reveal any abnormality -

The video evidence on the replay we see is the same as what they would have used to make their decision. What more do you need.you can see what happened. it was only about 3 months ago that mathew neilson,in australia, had an appeal heard,after he had been found guilty of this offence. He appealed. He had dropped his foot in the last 40m. His was on a grass track. He maintained his action was not deliberate. The appeal hearing noted how many previous drives he had and how he had never been charged with that offence previously. Neilson won his appeal and the stewards decision was overturned as those hearing the appeal said there was not the evidence to say it was anything other than accidental. There been talk on why weren't punters refunded their money,possible punters law suit,media coverage,etc. possibly may not come to much but is an indication of how many feel. Do Harness racing victoria think how it was handled will improve their image as far as integrity goes? and all over something that couldn't be proved for sure whether it was delibertae or just careless. Oh well,strange things can happen sometimes. -
