Did have to work hard early, the winner had the drop on him the trip, but I also thought may have been a bit overconfident. 

Winner came from 3 back the fence!

Had no chance of winning at the 100m, and if Mark Purdon Used the persuader once or twice then, it would’ve won!

His contempt cost him the race, and therefore should get penalised, as the punters have!

Must admit, great to see Paul Nairn win with Bob Butt in  the cart!

DadnDave how does he get ahead , how goes Yips if you count the win he should never of won as he cheated then checked the field .

We have a rating system .

 

Back to the topic.

I think if you look at the discussion horses considered deserving of been on the ballot rather than in the field included -

a) Mr Yips

b) DadnDave

c) Stars Tonight

They performed as expected including one not fronting.

Now Richie any comment ?

Maybe to save the industry money - why do you have 2 bodies selecting fields ?

All clubs should be relieved of the task and therefore stop the doubling up of staff/cost as well remove the power from one Club paid employee .

Total discretion in one persons hands is not appropriate - especially when he ignores national grading guide lines .

Derby had no points like the Cup selection and definitely no transperancy - time for Clubs to be removed from having field selection input ! .

I doubt very much any fine or suspension, will happen, sometimes being on the fence the best place to be, you just need that luck, I always like the 1 draws or the inside draw on the second line, if a horse can get a good run and do no work they are always a show, no matter what the ability or surface, and I've had some good roughies from these draws, did get 27s place div at reefton trots, even though the driver never driven a winner, from 1 on the second line, got locked away and done no work, and just sometimes with the run can lob a place or a win.
