Nowornever Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I can not work out these late scratchings at all. Some who I think have made a fair start get scratched and others who get knocked over or stopped in their tracks stay in the field. Tessamae yesterday a good example, I thought it would be scratched for sure and ruin the good trifecta dividend but it stayed in the field.

the galah Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago To me,i think the video clearly shows the horse who started in front of tessamae was standing ok at the start,the tape was released and that horse just stood there and then just moved in slightly just after that. so no interference occured prior to the start,so the race had commenced when interference took place. Rough luck for those who backed tessamae,but you would only get a late scratching if interference was happening prior to the start,not once the race had commenced. So i thought the decision to not late scratch tessamae was pretty clear cut correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
