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. -
So apart from having ZERO transparency wrt to investigating incompetent 'judges', out of aligned 'judge's' cameras and Sth island 'investigation' into an incompetent judge's placings They cant even do the basics "– 18 January 2023 – 4 days – Low level – 2 March 2023 – Otago – 5 days – Low level – Listed Race – 2 June 2023 – Otago 4 days – Low level – 27 July 2023 – Levin 5 days – Low level – Listed Race Mitigating factors to consider were Ms Hemi’s good record, despite this being her 4th breach in 12 months, the last of which was in July 2023, 4-5 months prior, 263 rides ago and her frank admission of the breach. A combined discount of 1 day is applied." How much do these blokes/blokess's receive to FAIL basic proffreading?? (SP!!!!) Then counting to 5 not 4!! -

Two lengths off the leader is pretty handy!! In my opinion Grylls should have hooked back and improved wide. But there aren't many doing that at the moment at Ellerslie. -

Feroce. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Feroce is on track for Guineas redemption, with preparations ramping up this week as the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) runner-up prepares to return to the jump-outs. Trainer Dom Sutton is delighted with how the son of Super Seth has come back from his spring break following his second-place finish behind Private Life in the October Classic, which was followed by a placing in the Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on November 2. While there’s been significant interest in the New Zealand-bred gelding for the inaugural $3.5 million NZB Kiwi (1500m) at Ellerslie on March 8, Sutton is leaning towards keeping him in Australia. “He’s going to trial on the 17th and he’s probably going to kick off in the Autumn Stakes over seven furlongs,” Sutton said. “We are heavily leaning towards staying here in Australia and going down the Australian Guineas route instead of heading to New Zealand for their slot race. “There are just so many options for him in the autumn. We’ll gauge it as we go and might even put him in something like the All-Star Mile just in case.” The Group 2 Autumn Stakes (1400m) will be held at Caulfield on February 8, with the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) taking place at Flemington three weeks later.

Coolmore winning the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes. (Photo by Morgan Hancock/Racing Photos) Coolmore are eagerly anticipating the future of Switzerland as plans take shape for the colt’s path towards Royal Ascot in June. The Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) winner is progressing well in his preparations for a campaign aimed at the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes (1200m) and is nearing his first trial. The Chris Waller-trained three-year-old is set to return to action in the Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes (1000m) at Flemington on February 15. “He’s going well, Chris is happy with him and James (McDonald) is happy with him,” said Coolmore’s Tom Magnier. “He spelled at the farm at Mt White, and Chris is happy with the way that he came back. “If he’s half the horse that he was the day we saw him in the Coolmore, there’ll be plenty to look forward to, but we’re all very happy with him.” Switzerland extended his record to five wins from seven starts with his Coolmore Stud Stakes triumph on November 2, which followed his victory in the Group 2 Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) in October.
