Peter Lamb just has to go !

Time to go.

After the performance where he was reprimanded for his incompetent start on a Sunday at Addington he reproduced the same incompetent mess in the biggest race of the year. 

There must be visible action taken over this because he literally gave the race to the horses on the outside of the front row. I especially feel sorry the second line. With the recent change in policy regarding late scratchings you could scratch half the field!

I would say it is comical but the amount of betting money that was lost at that start is unacceptable. 

The lack of awareness by the starter is breath taking- What is he watching!!!

I have had enough of this guy.

The outside horses made such a flyer that even the biased commentator failed to see that Self Assured had made a flyer.

Why is that biased?  Most commentators look at who goes back first.  He was looking for Copy That drawn one initially to see if it got away knowing that it was one of the favourites.  Copy That was very slow to get moving and the commentator mentioned it before looking to the front.  He couldn't find Self Assured initially because it was partially obscured.

Hear it here first.

JJ thinks Matt Cross is biased against the All Stars.

Your call. Live with it.

Never said that at all re bias against team AS , he was probably too busy looking for his tip The Fixer which he drove earlier at the beach. Not that i expect you to accept that he clearly missed the 2nd favs flying start so to speak nor mentioned the winner until a good 200 after the start

FFS JJ - you're an expert race caller now as well?  He was looking at Copy That - called it losing ground and then quickly went to the front of the field.  He lost sight of Self Assured who certainly had a blinder of start compared to his normal efforts!

As homework I suggest you watch the replay a dozen times!

So you think its ok for him to leave out SA on the basis of its manners abut then completely fail to see it flying start

You obviously haven't done your homework yet!  Self Assured was the third horse mentioned.  Here is a word for word transcript for you:

"The Cup field is set.  The tapes are back, they're underway.."
"Copy That very slow off the inside, he's going to end up back second last"
"First out Ashley Locaz.."
"Now where's Self Assured, he stepped away OK"
"First to go is Ashley Locaz, will lead, Self Assured is going get into the trail early so that's a big advantage to him"....

FFS JJ who's got the obvious bias here?

Me and Matt C must be both biased.

I will apologize for both of us.
