Am I allowed to interpret the driver of the 5 horse in tweeting "the horse (6) started at my wheel" suggests the OPS was due to the 6 being at his outside wheel at release point? And, of course, I'm imagining the starter and chair of stewards saw it as such, hence the LCD, nothing harsher. Going back to Kev's introductory post, again my thoughts, a false start is out of the question.
If the question is should there be harsher penalties for OPS, that's another question.
Certainly unfortunate the start isn't on the HRA/V replay but using evidence which, in my opinion, is biased to support a cause can be more detrimental to the image. I'm not shooting the Messenger, I realise the pic was passed on to Kev to debate.
Is it worth any consideration the two most experienced starters have recently left?
