bamboozla Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 So Bertie Allen gets a ticket in Auckland Cup heat and isn't drawn into the final, Von Strass gets a ticket in Oaks heat and is drawn into final.. why oh why? GRNZ staff keen to knock off for Easter so hastily get the draw done before stipes report? Be a great injustice if there happen to be a couple of scratchings and there isn't a full field because a dog was drawn into the race that should never have been. Race should probably be redrawn completely with Von Strass out. 2 Quote

Like you said, another runner has potentially missed a start in the race because of this runner not being withdrawn. Quote
Mischief managed Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Say you choose to appeal.. and win. But weren't drawn into the final, Then what happens... Quote

bamboozla Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 I'm not insinuating undue influence from the trainer at all, just the usual transparency issues. If the trainer was intending to appeal it should have been mentioned in the stipes report I would have expected. It certainly wouldn't be the first time a trainer has appealed a ticket before a big race final. 1 Quote
bamboozla Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 Incident looks fairly similar to ticket it got at Dapto when lunging outward but I am tipping he will argue the dog was checked by the 7 causing Von Strass to become unbalanced and will get off.. Appeal and the subsequent draw should have been completed today. As it is there is more pressure to have the ticket removed and the draw be valid instead of admitting an error, which is standard operating procedure. 1 Quote
bamboozla Posted April 24, 2019 Author Posted April 24, 2019 Yankiwi, your a bit of a master of video. Does it look to you that someone forgot to put blinkers on Von Strass? Seemed to have raced in them previous starts. Might explain the change in habits. Quote
Yankiwi Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Under GRNZ rules a dog must satisfactorily trial to apply blinkers, but there is no need to trial to remove blinkers. On Thursday (#5 rug) - no blinkers~ One race back (#6 rug) - blinkers That said, I believe the charge on Thursday should have been 55.1.a for marring! Quote
bamboozla Posted April 24, 2019 Author Posted April 24, 2019 Didn't beat the charge I hear. Definitely looks like marring. Quote
