Don’t understand why they cannot remove the hurdles (as they do in the bumper races). That way the correct distance would be run. I appreciate that the holes the hurdles make will need sand in etc, but it can’t be that difficult.
I wondered why they didn’t do that. I also wondered how the jockeys could see the dolled-off hurdle given that they were supposedly dazzled by the sun. Seemed to potentially make it more dangerous, particularly for the chap waving the flag. Agree the race should have been voided
