Brodie Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Yes I know it has been brought up before but FFS it is beyond the joke when horses are running at pace towards the starting tape!!! Have not been watching today but came home and watched race 7 at Winton which is down as being a 2400m STAND!!!! Watch the start and tell me that the back horses are not in a full blown run up!!! Wipe the stands totally if this is the crap that starters are allowing!!!! Why should the front line stand and the back ones be able to be in a full pace or trot????? Ridiculous! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct Flag! Just seems like total misrepresentation as to the conditions of the race! Not sure what the starter is normally like seriously you could not call it a standing start!,, Nothing will be said in the Stipes report as per usual! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see much wrong with that start, it appeared to me that those on the second line were a little asleep in lining up,so while they did get a moving start they were at a disadvantage already because of the drivers,not the starter. What would you have the starter do,wait until they all stand still and 2 or 3 on the front line start going backwards like they do in Canterbury,then be sent around again with a 2 minute delay.. Standing starts in southland have a higher % go away than Canterbury. Ive said it before,and will say it again, its the horses I feel sorry for that race in Canterbury then southland or vice versa. They don't always get the same,and it shows in their starting. Horses like michele,gypsy's choice ,and many more are a menace in Canterbury stands,whereas they will go away in southland. Or would you rather they be a menace all the time? Edited February 17, 2019 by the galah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were going at a pace that you would expect 50 or so metres after the start. Crazy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starter should’ve made them stand, as the conditions of the race was down as a standing start!!!! This happens too often down there and the drivers should be fined if they are repeated offenders, end of story. Our starters are not that flash nowadays as we know. Yes good that the horses went away but why should they have a running start where the front ones were STANDING? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankiwi Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I feel your pain Brodie... Why not opt for the greyhounds instead? The Stewards are just a crooked but at least the starts are much more predictable.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were deliberately back as far as they were ,then they sure were stupid.. Watch the video and you will see the only one on the second line who was in its correct position settled a long way in front of those who got the running start. That's not getting an advantage. That's the opposite. Edited February 17, 2019 by the galah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
