WTF is it about 'NZ SOUTH' Island starters??

So Russ McAra blamed his assistant for getting injured...

...when he stuffed up the designated starting points for 'rail true'!

How the f does someone do that?

All starters are required to liaise with Track Managers to make sure they know where the starting points are...

It makes it even worse when the position is RAIL TRUE then...

This follows on from the WC debacle where the barrier positions were reversed....

Perhaps these 'NZ SOUTH' boys are sooooo laid back and 'know it all' that they don't need to do basic 101 Starting Protocols??

Whats more...it appears he didn't even get a f in fine...just "spoken to advisedly"

ffs...does no one take responsibility any more?

Even leaving a piece of gear off a trainer gets pinged Fitty...a Starter corrupting the result

what paddy f in shot at

It happened at Te Rapa a few years back Thomass.  Passing Shot won the race but they initially had the gates 100m ahead or behind(certainly not in the right place).  it is not confined to the South.

Everyone makes mistakes.  Some people even vote(on purpose I might add) for Witless Win

And the Stipes noticed before the start...

The problem here was it wasn't rocket science

The 1200M SIGN is like a neon f in flashing light ffs...in the TRUE position

Even Magoo Mardi could have seen it...

How could ALL of the starting, stipe and shit shovelers not see that before the start...lining up at the 1230

f me
