Did you see the head on footage? - may possibly change your opinion. The boys on TrotsVision covered it Saturday night

Carol, as I said in my first post on the incident, it was the stewards film of it on TrotsVision that showed Kate inside the pegs and made me curious but I only remember them showing it once.
I saw it again in an article on the HRV website - it gives you the opportunity to review closely and I'm pretty sure Brett Day also referred to it in the video

Thanks Carol. That actually confirms it for me, Relentless Me was definitely behind the leader and although the leader was off the pegs, Kate DID NOT have room to go up Relentless Me's inside without going inside several pegs. Who cares if she had a full head of steam up, that does not mean you can just be a bulldozer
Luckily WA stewards are not paid by the word or else they would need a second job

Raymond Walker, the trainer of top 2021 2yo Mister Rea has been disqualified for 4½ mths and the horse has lost its win from the Breeders Challenge heat on September 14

Maybe fortunately the horse was withdrawn from the rest of the series with a quarter crack
Wondering where Jack Laugher has got to, I looked up the Suspended Driver list (the only place I find this is on Harnessweb)
Jack is due back from 3 weeks suspension today
But while browsing the list, I noticed the longest suspension is Leroy O'Brien
Leroy got 9 mths a couple of weeks ago for a cobalt offence from over a year ago
It is funny how the decision comes across as being so apologetic for suspending him

A bit of detective work required on our part to join the dots from today's story back to the one HRNSW issued on 2 October 2017 -

The stewards dealt with Jason Lee and Daryl Douglas on Saturday night after they turned the previous week's Group 1 Australian Trotting Grand Prix into an equine Demolition Derby. I can't help but feel both got off light considering the damage they caused.
