Be Mine Tonight Late Scratching

[Happy Sunrise]

After the debate about the Prince Teka incident and the late scratchings to go with it, the stipes make Be Mine Tonight a late scratching because the horse in front of it lost the gate so it must have been deemed to have been denied a fair start.

It happened very close to the start line so this begs the question how far off the gate does a horse need to be to be late scratched?

The precedents are getting more and more involved.

That was another very debatable decision. Especially with what happened in Auckland a bit later with a winner going inside the pegs.

Tough job being a stipe, especially when they change the rules on themselves.
