So you also saw the whole field smash the gates and then Innes give him a spray while sitting on the ground as well? Also compare the fine that Kylie Williams received, $250, when punching the air half a stride before the post and the no official warning that this Starter got when 3 horses came back with lacerations including 2 that were lame, 1 with a fracture. And he observed zero horses smashing into the stalls? Pull the fucking other one. As for Earley and Godber, they simply piss in each other's pocket. Of course the riu have never made a mistake and they've never lied either so it's a symbiotic piss take they give each other.

Thanks, so that makes it even more incomprehensible that someone with years of experience could fuck it up so badly then totally lie instead of owning it. Perhaps he's not used to the Steriline starting button along with his hearing and eyesight? I heard George Simon talking about him on the radio. He told him he expects Jockeys to be ready at all times. Well they weren't ready to race and neither were the injured horses.

Thanks, but I've read it before and I'm calling bullshit on that. I have the tape where he clearly calls watch ya gates, presses down the button, the entire field hit the front of the stalls and then he tries again without the call. All the while with his head up watching the field. How he says " I saw a few charge the gates but none hitting" is incomprehensible when he's standing behind the gates on a raised platform. Make that, 3 Bleeders, one lame and one fractured pastern now. He has a very smart Panama hat on which may have slipped over his eyes, although he would have heard all 13 making an awful bashing sound as they crashed into the stalls, in unison. Is he from Panama?

I'm not sure what his starting history is but did anyone see the start where Manchu was declared a non runner post race? There was a simply awful technical hitch by the looks, whereby the entire field charged the gates after he'd depressed the button but the power wasn't connected?? That's my take on the matter, any other thoughts? And this mans experience? In usual circumstances the entire field would have been vet checked but he just let them go after another second or two after the first fuck up. Post race three horses came back bleeding and two were lame. The starter said he thought a couple charged the gates but he didn't see any horse hit the gates. If I was him I'd be booking all the tests, hearing, shortsightedness, longsightedness, hand/eye coordination, smell and then take a lie detector test with intravenous pentathol added.
