the galah Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Was john morrison lucky to just get a 3 day suspension for interfering with the horse who had pushed him out 200m earlier? You get drivers being suspended for far longer for 2 or 3 extra taps with the whip than allowed. Its interesting watching the video of morrisons drive. It appears his horse had a tendency to hang in,and as a consequence morrison was often turning his horses head outwards. But just prior to the interference suffered by 3 runners inside morrison,he turns his horses head in,which causes interference.It would be nice to see the head on to confirm what looked like a deliberate move in.The stipes report just states there was an "incident". What a strange way to describe it.Would they call it that if it was a lesser known driver?I don't think so.

Glassy Webb shouldve been disqualified, end of storey! Zircon Lass was checked out of the race and it was sheer bolting and probably wouldve won if it had not been side swiped. Harness racing has got it so wrong and it is just sheer BS laziness that they do not go back to what the old rule was! Racing integrity what a load of crock HRNZ!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
