Chief Stipe Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hazel Schofer was to ride Darci La Bella 1kg over at 56kg. Late Scratched by Stewards apparently. Update - the trainer Alan Sharrock seems to have scratched her. That means that for Schofer to claim her two kg's she can only ride horses weighted at 58kg's!

Thomass Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Terrible exhibition by Big Red trying to make a point that Hazel has to do the hard yards to become a Jock... Could easily have got another Jockey but chose the 'I don't give a f about punters' root... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps given the paucity of jockey's around at the moment he wasn't too keen to put a lower quality jock up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schofer was also allowed to ride but Sharrock used a rule allowing him to scratch. H Schofer was unable to make the carded weight for DARCI LA BELLA being in excess of 1kg over. Connections opted to and were given permission to scratch the filly under Rule 534(2)(a). H Schofer was fined the sum of $200 under the Minor Infringement Rule.
