Back to Stewarding by the Tote Board

[Triple V]

I have been trying to tell you blokes for years you can not have an educated opinion on most of these matters "UNLESS YOU SEE THE HEAD ON" and I thought at least with you VVV my efforts were starting to bear some fruit but alas my hopes have been dashed.

The head on replay clearly shows that at the time the interference was caused the 4th horse had not yet obtained rightful running to the inside of the winner and had the winner kept going straight it would not have.

In theses circumstances the protest has to be dismissed.

It was not the tote board the stewards were looking at it was the video so any time you blokes want to apologise for again going off without the full picture I am sure the stewards would welcome it.

[VVV] In such circumstances would it be toooooooo much to ask that the Stewards Head On Footage be added to the Trots TV replay so EVERYONE can see it?
Or is it some big secret thing that only a select few, including it should be noted a couple of very well dressed young fellows who went in to the Offices at Bankstown one day to see some head on footage, are able to view?
That was a stone cold shocker VOR. The leader & eventual winner initially drifted up the track when it looks like the 1st over horse was going to challenge it and then when the 1st over challenge faded and the pocket horse loomed large up along the pylons the driver takes a quick look back & sees it and the horse duly closes down to the pylons again, clips the pocket horse's front legs and causes it to break. Front on and not yet obtained rightful running and all be damned. That was a joke.
If that was in the US the protest doesn't even need to be lodged let alone debated and then upheld, the inquiry sign would have lit up & the Judges would have automatically taken the winner down.
