Thomass Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited March 3, 2019 by Thomass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomass Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Take a look at the 2nd 1200M race...they're 20 metres in front of the mark... they couldn't even line up the 2nd try properly... A difference of 1.5 secs between races https://loveracing.nz/RaceInfo/47505/Meeting-Overview.aspx Edited March 5, 2019 by Thomass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
