cambridge race 5

[the galah]

i watched this race last night,did not bet on it ,but when i rread the stipes report i didn't think it was accurate description of what actually hasppened in the race.

firstly,it says play the ace, over raced on occasions.

just exactly where on the video does it show that happening.

on the 2 occassions t mitchell, pushed it hard to hold the lead over about 300m and then again for 200m, during the first 1700m of the race,his horse was not over racing.

nor was it over racing for the 50m before he pulled off the trail on 2 different occassions he had another crack at the 2 favorites.

The only time the horse over raced if you look at the video was for about 100m with 1300m to run.

now i don't know why he adopted the tactics he did ,on the complete outsider who had not raced for several months. My guess would be ,maybe he didn't like the horses personality when warming it up and was having a bad day prior. But of course thats just a guess and not relevant to what actually he did.The horse naturally dropped out a long way from home to finish a tired and distant last. 

shouldn't the stipes have at least have taken the time to ask the trainer what his instructions and opened an inquiry.

i say that,because i can guarantee if that was an amateur driver,they would have been looked at far more closely and my guess,they would have been given a 6 month suspension for such a odd drive(if it was an amateur).

then secondly,the stipes report said jaccka opa caused its driver some difficulty in the last 50m of the race.

well again,thats not what the video shows. The video cleary shows its driver,k coppins ,ran up in behind the horse in front of her ,then instead of taking hold of her horse when it could no longer progress forward,she angled it out,then realised there was no room to do that without interfering with the horse outside her,so went from turning its head to the right quickly to turning its head to the left quickly .,throwing it off balance. I mean ,it was clearly the manner in which it was driven that was the main contibutor to the horse going off balance.

i've mentioned this driver several times in the pasti,because she seems to be getting no guidance from the stipes and repeats the same driving. Why is that?.
