Remote stipes now?

[curious]

Is this a new thing?

Possible he is in charge of the remote for the day to activate the replays

Oh. I see. I thought it meant he was only remotely interested.

Geez @curious this has been going on for quite some time now.  They have the bunker just like the NRLwhere a steward reviews the HD videos for indiscretions well after the fact.  Do you honestly think they count whip strikes in real time?

However as you know when it suits they can't post the Stewards vision online even after they have counted the whip strikes.

And even when they do they are a long way from HD.

RV can do it straight away, so punters and other partcipants can be informed. https://www.racing.com/videos/stewards-vision

A remote steward thing has been happening for a while, it isn’t new.

That's how John Oatham's been doing his track inspections for years

Yes, I thought it'd be handy for things like that and interviewing jocks, checking gear and brands, making sure no medications were being administered in the stable area etc. Handy for trainers to notify stipes of stuff they have to as well.
