The horse had a running rail next to him so the only way he could have gone off a straight line was to the right but surely they check more than just whether the horse is running in a straight line with the hind legs following the front legs to ascertain whether he is injured or not?

All they had to do was look at the side on view i.e. the view from the ITV broadcasting camera and you could clearly tell that the horse wasn’t moving right behind and neither I nor Richard Hollies (who clearly picked up on it on the run in) are vets or have any veterinarian experience to call upon so how is this guy not seeing it?

Struggling to understand how they have come to that conclusion and made that statement to Stewards.
