Sammy Collett takes a dump and Punters get SCREWED!

So it's an hilarious headline....but not so funny for Punters ffs

The 3rd time in 3 months a Jock weighs in LIGHT and Punters have to needlessly suffer a Huge loss...

Punters Beaten up before she'd even legged on let alone left the birdcage or left the stalls!

No chance right after Sammy took a 0.6kg relief stop...who the f knew it weighed that much?

Im about to take one now to see how much effect the Vindaloo I had for lunch precipitates such a dumping...hold da phone

No wonder Gen x...z....y....have buggered off to Sports betting...a Rugby player taking a dump is notifiable...and not penalised...just get on 

Seriously though...it's about time Racing's antiquated Rules took these situations into account...

Sammy admitted to a 4 Hour drive with no pit stops...rushed to the weighin scales..then rushed to get rid of the morning porridge after weighing out...and not weighing in again...out

Its dizzying stuff and Punters are reeling 3 months in a row...

Should be declared a late scr because punters were NEVER EVER going to get their money back , win lose or draw.

Rule has to be changed pronto,  it's embarrassingly BAD ,  a blatant rip off.

How long did it take to change the dead heat for 3rd rule, can you young ones believe that the winner and runner up had deductions taken off their place dividend.

Really , a true story

Problem you could run into if it is declared a late scratching if someone has had a decent punt and done a dodgy deal with the rider to throw some lead out if  the horse gets beaten so they get refunded.

A very severe penalty which shows a lack of understanding by the stipes. There is plenty of wrongdoing going on that seems to get ignored.

 

Nayyyy Freddie....should have got at least a month...

...added on for failing to recognise who pays her bills....

THE PUNTER

"I feel really sorry for the connections of the horse at Ruakaka as he was disquali ed and they lost their prize- money because of my mistake, so hopefully I will be able to make that up to them one day,”

I don't think it should be a late scratching. Scratching a runner affects the dividends of the other runners even when the situation doesn't affect the outcome of their bet. There's a process. Follow it and all will be OK. She didn't, tough.

You don't think...period

Theres no difference to a barrier attendant holding on too long and being a late scratching...which happens more often than a weigh in...

As for process...she followed it....

IF there was a rule to re-weigh after toileting....she would have...but there isn't

THE PUNTER

Those days off will probably cost her $5-7000 in lost earnings.

Far better for her to have been ordered to pay a fine to the connections and be allowed to go on riding. The aggrieved punters would be happy to have one of the very best riders in the country riding at Ellerslie and she adds glamour as well.

As it is she will be home worrying about the mortgage.

I think - that you are stupid. I think most would agree.

There is a difference. One relates to a barrier attendant denying a fair start. The other relates to a horse carrying less weight than permitted under the race conditions. Quite different. In one case, the horse didn't get to race on its merits in relation to the other starters in the race, in the other case it did.

And then if carrying too light a weight - they are found to have broken the rules. 

She didn't follow the process. The process is to weigh out with the weight you are going to weigh in with - with an accepted tolerance. The process doesn't have to be governed by the rules. The rules are what make the process. This isn't some written rule/process. This is common sense that you follow such a process.

She clearly didn't follow that process since she did something to affect her weight. 

And in failing to understand the need to follow such a process, she ultimately broke the rules. Bad luck for her and the connections and the punters associated with that horse. Not bad luck to the people that had nothing to do with that horse and didn't back that horse. They shouldn't be affected by her lack of understanding the process.

And to make matters worse, as mentioned earlier, the integrity of the outcomes would be subject to unscrupulous behaviour. Any rider running 2nd/3rd/4th in 3 and 4 horse fields could easily weigh in light. The winner would return a refund to the winning punters (by virtue of the new dividend after all the other runners are late scratched), and the late scratching punters, would get refunds as well. Punters are going to love that.

Why on earth do you feel the need to write a f in novel every time you post?

Theres also a rule that forbids touching anyone post race....

...very simple to put cameras up in the JOCKEY Bogs...and hit the alarm as soon as a deposit is made...Stipes going over camera footage to investigate and weigh the deposit...

...or far easier to make a rule like touching...drumming it into them at App school...It then becomes a habit....

BTW Stipes Murrihy and Bailey were deadset agreeing with these refunds to Punters...of course they'd realise each case would be dealt with on each scenario...

The rules are simple. Jockeys know what they are. No need for more rules. Just more cost for the industry.

And such a rule would reduce integrity. Seems you don't care about that after all.

No different to your diatribes - difference is Mardi's posts can be understood!

You quoting the "brains trust" now Thomaas?

She didn't comply with the rules and had ample opportunity before the race to address the issue.  It is surprising how many people don't know how much liquid weighs.  A litre of water equals one kilogram.

To suggest that this situation should be a scratching is ludicrous.  Are you suggesting every disqualification should be a late scratching?  E.g. a horse put out because it interferes with another?

You're you're as stupid as he is...

She can't have been begging to go either....she had the time to gather all of her gear...go to the scales and WEIGH OUT...

...then take a dump/ wee wee

As soon as she takes the dump....PUNTERS were screwed

Nothing else comes even close to being PUNTERS getting SCREWED in the process of ANYTHING 

Stipes Murrihy and Bailey knew there had to be a rule change to allow punters refunds to SAVE THE INDUSTRY from further embarrassing Jockey cock ups...

...but the Industry doesn't give a toss and shuffled it further under the carpet...

Just like NZTR does beautifully...

Bad luck punters. Whichever way, punters get screwed. Some get screwed from a late scratching, some get screwed if it isn't a late scratching. Best to not affect the punters that had nothing to do with the horse that raced outside the rules. The jockey should learn from their errors. That's why it should be a massive penalty. Make sure all know the significance of trying it on and going a bit too far.
