the galah Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Only at manawatu could brent mangos get away with one of the most obvious breaches of the push out rule seen in recent times. The stipes obviously don't care what punters think of their integrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I haven't seen any races from Manawatu but I must say you are one hell of a committed punter/harness racing follower. Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos. Yes , it gets a bit tiresome at times,but you have got to do the form if you are trying to make a few $.. I actually think manawatu form on the first day is unpredictable,but the 2nd day tends to go to form. Its all part of a master plan,at least that's what I tell myself. I do think I need a holiday.

Taku Umanga Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) So if a horse is clearly sitting outside yours, you are now entitled to push it out before the 1000m mark as long as it's not moving forward - good to know. GLADAMARE - commenced to over-race near the 1200 metres and was shifted out from the trail forcing DOWNTOWN BABE to race wider on the track before improving to lead near the 1000 metres. The filly was then headed near the 500 metres and failed to run on to finish in fifth place beaten 25.1 lengths. Stewards investigated the incident near the 1200 metres and were satisfied that DOWNTOWN BABE had not been making a forward movement at this stage and no further action was deemed necessary. A post race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities other than a slow recovery. Edited April 30, 2019 by Taku Umanga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both know that Mangos was given preferential treatment yesterday.. This was just another obvious illustration of the double standards the stipes who officiated at that meeting have ,in my opinion.. Inconsistency in the application of the rules only leads to a lack of trust and disrespect . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
