    • No excuses for dodgy gear….should be fined bigtime if found to be in bad repair. They stop racing if the track looks like being a problem, yet look at this, far more dangerous.     
    • Look, I know punting is never easy, it’s gambling and anything can happen, as I backed it EW I only lost small amount …. but it peeved me off so much I didn’t have another bet at TAB / Betcha all day in protest. Used Sportsbet n Aus racing and even NBA…. but below are a few points. 1, WP chose to get pocketed around 600m from home. He had every option to track up on the outside, chose to go inside as horse that missed start took that place.    2, That resulted WP in tight racing room turning for home, had plenty of time to react, not a big field and while runners were racing together tight, it was very compact, 3 odd metres inside  or wider and he would have had a clear run to line.    They interviewed him after winning on hotpot…. was asked about being 3 wide in small field, he said he should have gone around earlier, sadly never mentioned first race.    Stipes should have asked question, as didn’t give horse every chance to win
    • Haven't looked and won't comment on this - but lack of ability to read a race is sadly very prevalent in judicial rooms. Jockeys used to get pulled up for poor decisions,  i recall Bruce Craik ( stipe) taking all the riders in the room bar the winner and and giving them a ticking off for stupidity.  Doesn't happen now - although a couple of years ago,  our head stipe did tell a jumps rider he should have let the reins go.
