That view is gaining currency and doing the rounds.  Who put pressure on and why?

The Secretary told me the riders were asked into the stipes room three times before the first.  I saw once but was busy.  Who would you conclude exerted pressure?

Stipes report now says "MADISON ROSE (T Moseley) - Lost the right hind plate in the saddling area which was unable to be reattached due to the mare being fractious. Lost its footing rounding the final turn near the 225 metres with the left hind leg having slipped.

Excuse my ignorance as if a pacer loses a shoe we usually just take the other one off as well

This Report says it lost the right hind plate but slipped on the left hind

Am I missing something?

Condolences Brian, given the work that goes in to a raceday I know it's gutting

Thanks for that but it's life I suppose. Bit annoying however.
