The starter seemed to be very obliging in R7 at Kilmore on Thursday night too
As you will note in the Stewards report:
A false start was declared when Beach Babe Nikky refused to score up. At the restart Beach Babe Nikky again refused to score up. As a result Beach Babe Nikky will continue to remain outside the draw for future mobile start races. Beach Babe Nikky took no competitive part in the race and was subsequently stood down from racing until the completion of one satisfactory trial.

Why was a false start declared the first time (and the race shafted to Sky2) when the offending Stewart/Alford horse was ODM and drawn 7 of 7 and caused no interference?
