IEP doing his best not to win, he was all over the shop. One of those annoying horses that needs plopped on the line perhaps. I think he’ll keep it as the others didn’t have to stop riding. Langer Dan prob worst offender for a single contact actually, poor Bob Olinger.
April 11, 2024 at 15:41 #1689735What a finish Bob pipped on the line.
The more I know the less I understand.
April 11, 2024 at 15:42 #1689736“Langer Dan has blown his handicap mark right up”
Yeah good luck getting that one down again
April 11, 2024 at 15:42 #1689737Not sure what Ruby is seeing there, looked like Impaire and Langer both drifted into each other, result not affected.
April 11, 2024 at 15:44 #1689738Stewards called can’t see the result being changed but secretly hoping it does

April 11, 2024 at 15:45 #1689739I didnt see interference myself. IAP was just far enough ahead when going left. LD went left as well then switched and rallied.

April 11, 2024 at 15:49 #1689743The overhead shows it better so who knows.

April 11, 2024 at 15:52 #1689744The problem is Langer Dan interfering with Bob Olinger after the last. How do you then punish Impaire et passe for some small interference at the 2nd last?

April 11, 2024 at 15:54 #1689747Go Rachael, said she would have won bar interference.
The more I know the less I understand.
April 11, 2024 at 15:55 #1689748Give it to Bob! If he’s allowed to run straight he wins!
Pocket talking yes, but that’s the only justifiable reasoning! Townend has ran across from right to left and left to right!

The more I know the less I understand.
April 11, 2024 at 15:58 #1689750Not sure you can change that result even with the small margin of victory, I don’t think the interferrence was one sided (6 of one and half a dozen of the other) – had LD stayed straight I am not sure there would have been any contact at all.
The thing is, as IEP drifted in, LD has drifted just as far out and Skelton hasn’t stopped riding when contact was actually made. Also as LD drifted out he nudged into Bob Ollinger as well.
I think Townend will probably be kicking himself that he didn’t hold onto him longer and avoided all this mess.
