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. The start was ridiculous for a STANDING start! The Starter was negligent in letting the horses be so far back from the tape! The drivers are obviously aware that the Starter is weak in this regard. The back horses should have been told to come up before letting the tape go, with the back horses In A full blown run up!! Not a standing start as advertised! Fine the Starter and driver as not fair on the punters!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I don't blame others for following suit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
