I cannot understand why the jockey on the just disqualified winner pulled his whip through to the ‘wrong’ hand! I honestly think if he hadn’t they would have got it and kept it!

I’ve turned channels, i never place another bet. So many times i’ve lost to horses meeting like that and never has the places been revised. I’ve lost or gained nothing, that is out of order. Will we see that at southwell late evenings…my backside we will.
Bookmakers must be rubbing their hands yet again after the rain. Looked through the field and there is virtually no relevant soft ground form at all. Pipette has won on the soft but was also beaten in a relatively ordinary race with cut so in all likelihood she is no world-beater. I doubt very much that Seta really wants soft ground. Music Show definitely doesn’t want soft ground and in all probability the French filly is likely to struggle to get home on soft ground. Seems likely the race is going to be won by a horse least inconvenienced by the ground although it is complete guesswork as to which one.
What a waste of seven pages of analysis. Right decision to reverse but those who backed the winner got very lucky. Yesterday it was a bad draw today it was a great draw. Something has to be done to encourage horses to run in one group – moving the stalls or rails? The favourite may have ended up winning but that race was a shambles.
Couldnt have backed the winner if i read the form a million times but was happy with sent from heaven’s run, and i love 2 see a big priced winner. A bit gutted 4 jacqelines quests connections and backers thought she was the winner. The stewards dont reverse decisions like that any other time when the interference is much clearer. A move 2 keep the french happy perhaps…

I think you are spot on there. I disagree with the decision BUT Jacqueline Quest’s rider swapped whip hands and must immediately have put himself at risk of disqualification. It’s the way it goes and such matters hinge on split second decisions, but I suspect Tom Queally might have done things differently with hindsight.

I cant believe Johnny Francome couldn"t see the Result had to be amended according to our rules! 2/1 against the amendment was too big!Henry took it like the legend he is!

A real shame. My first thought as I watched the finish was "There’s a protest chance here". I backed that up by matching a 1.3 lay about first past the post.
Having watched a replay of the head on I wasn’t so sure and bet back at evens. I’m sure I’ve seen similar finishes here in the UK many times without a reversal. My one doubt for first past the post in the end was "He should have pulled the whip through to the right hand".

If the rain had stayed away, or more pertinently if the race was returned to it’s original slot in the calender SD would have won easily.
Sympathy for anyone who backed the winner but punting is like that, what goes round comes round – I backed Dar Re Mi in the Vermeille so it’s nice to see balance restored.
After that race only a complete crank would entertain placing an ante-post bet on either of the first two classics again.

If it was in France i’d accept it but horses get bumped here all the time and nothing is done about it until today. For that reason i won’t bet until i know what set of rules is gonna be followed here. Also, good luck to everyone who won on Special Duty, it’s hard after yesterdays result. But i wanna see every horse that impedes another disqualified, even at crap meetings before i bet again. Too many ifs and buts when there’s serious money involved.

BUT, what IF a horse that impedes the other would have won anyway?

Like Dar Re Mi in France. I don’t care, i just need to know what rules are followed in the country that the race is taking place. Today they’ve followed different rules than they usually follow here and until the same set is followed, either letting it stand or not, i aint putting my money in. I’m stubborn like that.
I like what you did with the IFS and BUTS.
