race 6 cambridge

[the galah]

I know it was just a low grade race at cambridge on a tuesday,but the north island stipes must know some people still watch and bet on those races and can see when a driver does something they shouldn't.

Race 6 at cambridge,bonnie parker driven by k coppins broke on the first bend,then for the next 50m was driven in a way that totally confused the following drivers.

Initially she angled it out,then no better go back in,then no better go out after all.Badly hampering the 2 trailing horses.

Now i'm not saying the stipes need to be picking on anyone,but can't they at least apply the rules the same as they do in the south island.

All the stipes had to do,to satisfy punters that they hadn't dozed off again was include in the stipes report that k coppins was spoken to for the manner in which she drove.

The  north island stipes must know a driver is supposed to take their horse clear of the field,or at the very least try and maintain its line. That horse was not hanging.It was steered out,then in,then out.,all within 50m.

On 6 february,b ford,driving blinkin bones was fined $300 for failing to take his horse clear of the field when in a break. If you wacth the video,yes he was at fault,yes the penalty seemed fair even though he defended it,but no it was nowhere near a confusing drive as what we saw tonight.

Some people get annoyed by standing starts,not me,my bug bear is the inconsistent application of the rules because they aren't doing their job and farly enforcing the rules,ensuring everyone is treated the same. Not one rule for some and another for others.

Why do they treat people differently?
