the galah Posted 9 hours ago Author Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) 16 minutes ago, Chief Stipe said: Well it is obvious he is guilty of breaking the rules. He dropped his leg out of the sulky and hit the leg of the horse he was driving. @the galah do you want us to pass the hat round to cover your bet? So those hearing the appeal that overturned the neilsen case in australia,where contact occured over 40m ,didn't know the rules. Funnily enough,the stipes report today at ashburton noted a driver did the same thing briefly,making contact with his horses leg once in the final straight. no action,no warning. Just a note that it was accidental. like with many indiscretions for the same thing,they have many different outcomes depending on the circumstances Edited 9 hours ago by the galah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a note that it was accidental. like with many indiscretions for the same thing,they have many different outcomes depending on the circumstances Don't know why they have to overturn it ? just because you don't agree with it. Other incidents are separate affairs. Chief put the video on the first page of this thread . (thank you Chief) and it shows his leg come down at the 200 , and it didn't look like a slip to me. And he didn't rush to put the leg back up or anything. (until he was sure he had the race Won) So the Stewards applied the rule as best they could from observations. That's What they Do all the time. Rules are broken , they take action. nothing wrong with that. Personally I think the penalty given was harsh though ( but it will deter ALL in future) A bit like McGrath getting the excessive milkshake DQ there. No one else game enough to milkshake now and get 7-8 years 😎 You can't take any notice of 'honesty' from drivers. I always just blamed the horse , no matter what happened lol 🤣. Moran has 'packed the shits' and Not put Captain Hammerhead in the 100k Ballarat Cup this week Sat now 😋, so Kanena Provlima might get a fair and square Win 🏆👍. Great young driver James Herbertson has a choice of 2 of the favourites drives though , so will be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
