Realise you meant Blake Hewitt. He could have jumped on the back of Rollon Gidget down the back, but elected to stay in, fair enough because Circumstantial was travelling strong and was going to bring him into the race nicely. They go 2 more yards and Circumstantial spits the bit, gonesky. Blake had no option but get dragged back and we saw the result go to the stablemate. I think you are marking hard if you think its suss.
Because the same thing happened to Anthony Butt on Raglan, when he takes the sit behind the right horse to trail (Mr Feelgood). Was there anyone in Australia that night who thought MFG would puncture the way he did. Mate, thats racing. Heres the thing that gives me the irrates though...Stewards ping Lauren for 28 days for allegedly not taking a run that (apparently) presents itself. If they are going to be consistent, then Blakes drive should be probed further for not getting out wide earlier when Rollon Gidget is beginning to weaken. It would have just been a dumb, dumb move and the stewards would have got into him for incompentancy. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Oh and by the way, yeah, safe to say he didn't have anything in Screamin Seamen. God I love that horses name, makes me want to put on a raincoat.
My answer to this is still a no. It would just complicate things I think. https://imagicon.info/cat/10-3/smile4.png
No no and no. If this is made, there will always be fixed matches. https://imagicon.info/cat/10-3/smile4.png
Of course drivers should be allowed to bet on their own drives, I would even go so far as to make it public information that such and such has bet x amount to win or each way on their drive in the next.
Even now, a driver can give his partner, or a friend, even the trainer of the horse, money to place on it and no one would be the wiser.
