The main problem is what I already wrote in the Derby thread:
If the starter declares him a NR straight away and the announcement is made within seconds after the start then it is somehow okay. But not minutes after the race has ended. And was the starter aware of the leg on the shelf? No he wasn’t, otherwise he would have declared him a NR before the gates had opened.
This was a Stewards decision, but why?
I mean a horse banging it’s head in the stalls is far worse than happened yesterday.
