Why was Hobbs classed as a non runner?

Watched the race and can not see why it is money back?

just the luck of the draw betting on the trots sometimes.

If you slow it down you can see the horse had its weight on the back fee, but only started going backwards after the tape went. It was never going to go awaya with its weight on the back feet,but you see something like that in almost every non win stand ,especially in southland. So an inconsistent decision but thats just the way it goes sometimes.

a recent example,hacksaw ridge at wingatui, was actually going moving backwards for some distance and the starter still let them go,no money back for punters.

I think they contact the tab straight after it happens,if i've have bet on them they deem it a starter,if i have bet on something else that has run a place,they late scratch the horse concerned so as to cut my price.At least it seems like that sometimes.

Be very interesting to read the Stipes report!

Definitely should have been classed as a runner, the Stipes I believe have made another error!

Yesterday my roughie evangelist at 41, a mobile specialist, stepped from the stand like a pro, unfortunately false start, reared up on the re run, thought it could been a refunded, but don't know what the laws on that, drops in class tomorrow of the mobile and is paying 2.00 at present, interesting, My skatjie deemed a non starter, couldn't see much on the race replay, think it's all a lottery.

think you're right Brodster.

But they will scratch horses 'If denied a Fair start' by being struck by the Barrier strand in any manner.

This does happen very rarely , and the stewards rightly can scratch a runner that suffers that interference. 

so will be in the Steward report if that is the case. 

I notice the trotters can stand very very wide on the track these days? some even face the outside rail at times as the start is initiated . we never used to do that as was always a risk of the tape tangling your horse if up too close.

the westport cup was a strange race.

a  false start was decleared because the starters assistant failed to release the hand held tape fast enough the first time,causing the backmarkers to be slow away.

the stipes report noted she was spoken to advisedly. Maybe something like,next time do it with your eyes open.The result of the restart was evangilist got annoyed and reared up. The horse had its chance to go away,simply had decided not to after the false start.

at least they didn't have the vet holding the tape like they did a couple of years ago. I remember starting a thread that the vet  was too slow in releasing the tape and cost a backmaker some ground and wondered why a vet was holding the tape in the first place. 

then in yesterdays westport cup,the eventual winner jumped what appeared to be some white paint markings on the track and lost ground.That seemed very odd,why were there two very obvious white markings on the track close to each other.How does that happen. strange.

my skatjie was denied a chance to line up as there was another horse in its way.I've often wondered if they pay the connections the starting fee if they are late scratched.

Youd think they'd have an experienced person on the tapes, connections must be frustrated by what happened with the re run, I know I was, talking through my pocket, the 2s on offer tomorrow seen fairly skinny especially from the second row, wont be backing up at that price, the 41s the first day more my go.
