Mind the car!

[Refuse To Bend]

The 2.04 at Craon today bizarrely had a car parked in front of the third fence from home the runners had to go around. From what I could make out this fence was only jumped once at the end but the commentator strangely made no mention of it like it was a normal thing but the Racing Post picked it up.

The more I know the less I understand.

Here is the clip to that:

Only the commentator didn’t notice it.

More odd was the commentator never said a word about it…

I hear that Mike couldn’t get a signal to cash out so it was a late bid to get the race abandoned

French commentator doesn’t seem to refer to it either so it clearly has some function but what? If they in poor taste have to jump what are basically advertising hoardings it shouldn’t surprise us that circumnavigating a Renault is another obstacle. As they say down Auckland way How bizarre, How bizarre!

Wife ” Dear have you advertised the car for sale ”

Husband ” Yes , and it didn’t cost us a penny “

Just noticed now a report on Paris Turf (Actu – Galop) published on Monday afternoon 15.47 explaining I think it was the Starter’s car that had some start/stop electrical fault and the chap hadn’t time to warn riders of the debacle!

If it was the starter’s car why did he start the race? Or did this happen after they had set off and he jumped in his car to move it. Surely he can’t have parked it there before the race and then let ’em go.

This is so weird. Can’t imagine that happening at Cheltenham.
