Chief Stipe Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Geez if you look a that the head on video sure Extortion moves in but at no stage did it touch the third horse or take its line. I can understand putting the second horse out because it did hit it and take its line. But I can't see why Extortion was relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly , just said so on the other thread , winner didn't cause the damage , i'm spewing , backed it at 14s , thought oh well i'm sweet , absolutely spewing . Amatuer hour .

I guess the relegated horse is aptly named - Extortion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i consider myself pretty objective when it comes to a relegation , i know when my bet is in trouble , but this one has me pissed off . Looking forward to the stewards report .

nomates Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 They have just shown it again and i have no idea why the winner was relegated , the inside horse cannoned into the middle horse which connoned into Extortion , he at no stage contacted the winner of his volition , it was all inside out , unbelievable decision , the connections of Extortion have been delt a rough one , along with all the punters that backed this horse late from 14s to 8s . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$ BILL Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Disgraceful, amateur, pathetic, did not have a cent on the race so not talking through my pocket, 3rd versus second 100 per cent, 3rd V first mind boggling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Will be interesting to see what penalties the Jockey's will get if anything. Very very odd relegation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzenza365 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 The members of the JCA who made this manifestly incorrect decision, should be SACKED,this is just a wrong decision and clearly shows how incompetent both RIU and JCA are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomates Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 The stewards report is out and all they say is Extortion shifted in at the 50mtrs and contacted , but he did not contact the 3rd horse , the 3rd horse contacted him after being smashed from the inside . Well that's what i see , maybe i need specsavers , again . I just don't get what they have seen , a horse can move all over the place as long as it's not contacting or dictating another horses line , neither of which Extortion done .

There is a slight touch of the Shaun Mackay's boot onto Extortion but certainly no loss of momentum. As you say all the impeding action came from the inside and when you look at the head on there was ample room for the horse to get through but the collision came from inside. Superdonna barely changed its line if at all! A very wrong decision. Racing Te Aroha 2021-10-04.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomates Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Apparently under a JCA review , more amatuerism in NZ racing . This should be reversed , should never have happened . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
