Agreed. Surely count the strokes on the winner before the weighed in announcement and call an inquiry and make decision there and then, just as would happen for interference, etc.
It’s not difficult, they just either don’t take it seriously enough OR don’t want to draw attention to whip misuse and would rather deal with it relatively ‘under the radar’.

Wellington : Captain Cody

I was at Aintree and watching it live my immediate impression from the stand was that he didn’t look ‘right’ after the mistake.
But he did seem to get back to a gallop and it was hard to tell if the visuals were because of an injury or just the sort of clumsy way horses sometimes get back into stride after a bad error.

Very sad to see a loss like that in any race and sympathies with connections on losing such a promising horse.

Who entered as ‘Bergerac’? Because you’ve won!
Let me know so I can arrange the free bet.

Good luck all.

As a bit of fun TRF will put up a £10 Grand National bet to the player in the TRF Group whose aggregate score over Thursday and Friday (both days combined so you need to play both days) is highest.

Get in touch in this thread if any issues with the registering or using the app/website and Craig will let us know I am sure.

We’re playing again today with the Fairyhouse card. I was busy yesterday and forgot to enter until too late! So I can’t see who won but well done whoever you were.
I’m back in again today so come and have a go, etc

[cormack15]

Fairyhouse today if anyone wants to take part and add some interest to their Sunday.

Good game yesterday.

‘I’m sure the BHA will be very….. Oh, they won’t even notice this.’

I see the BHA integrity department ordered an inquiry after Tyson’s win (fairly unusual) and the other winners on that day were all referred to the BHA for review. It’ll be interesting to see what the outcomes are.

For me it is unacceptable that this sort of VERY obvious manipulation of performances is allowed to take place. You can argue it is part of the puzzle and has always gone on, etc, etc, but in this case it was a big two fingers up to the authorities from a trainer with previous.

Nothing ‘genius’ about it either btw.

[cormack15]

The trainer’s title is a forlorn chase – but I too am surprised he doesn’t target the Scottish National given the prize money on offer and the fact that when he does go after it he seems to have the firepower to win it. Could be correct that he is unwilling to risk them on better ground.

[cormack15]

Great stuff BHL – 5 of us in so far – 6 if regular Chestnut weighs in.

Two ways to play (or combine) – pick all your picks and lock them in for the day and off to B&Q or Tesco OR if you are watching the TV follow the leaderboard and adjust your picks and hot picks according to where you are on the leaderboard.

Craig’s interested in feedback on how the app is in terms of functionality and also any feedback on how to improve the gameplay/scoring, etc, so feel free to let him know the good and the bad so he can modify it accordingly.

Thanks all.

[cormack15]

‘He hasn’t had that many opportunities in Grade 1s ‘

Exactly.

[cormack15]

He’ll be a different horse next time out you would think. I would draw a line through that.
