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. -

Really? Yet when an INCA race was reviewed subjective opinion determined that there was match fixing and the drama went on for years. The rule is quite clear the driver couldn't do what he did. Disqualified. -

Have you seen ALL the video evidence? The stipes will have. Hang on a minute are you saying because some punters screamed loudly the horse shouldn't have been disqualified? The driver knew the rules and had no reason to drop his leg and as said by the stipes touch the horse with it. It was a deliberate action NOT accidental. Peter Chadwick, Chairman of Stewards for HRV, explained the post-race scenario when stewards delayed the all-clear on the race. “Following the running of the race, the Shepparton Cup, stewards did delay all clear. The reason being that the driver of the first past the post David Moran, his right leg became detached from the sulky and appeared to be there for quite a significant point of time,” Chadwick said. “The film was quite evident that the foot did become detached and there was contact with the horse’s hind leg on a couple of occasions. We also believe Mr Moran’s foot stayed in that vicinity of the horse’s legs… “The stewards believed the rule 170 part five should be invoked and as such the horse was disqualified. There’s no part in that rule that actually says the horse can be relegated, it talks about the horse may be disqualified. Race5-NEATLINEHOMESSHEPPARTONGOLDCUP(GROUP3).mp4 “It is a big race, we understand the impact it has upon those involved and the connections of that horse that was first past the post, but equally we have to be fair to all the other participants and administer the rules as they are.”
