Folks have a look at this and tell me what I've missed, Protest in the fifth at Goulburn.
Megs Furrari comes a tad wider in the run home but for the life of me I cant see how it affected the result....please explain?????

I'm sure I have missed something, I just can't see it!

From what i can see DanOriginally Posted by Danno
it seems Megs Outside wheel contacts the Favs in the last 30-50m or so...
The Fav is coming with momentum but if you watch their wheels, the Fav gets to Megs wheel and suddenly stops being the faster finishing horse, like a brake has been put on. Hence i guess stewards allege Meg drifted out to impede Favs running, protest upheld.
Similar to an alleged tactic apparently used in Perth by a very busy reinsman as mentioned on this forum...
Watched it ( again) a few times Ash, if there was any contact ( visible on the supplied footage) that made a difference to the end result of the race then I must be Agent 86, cos Max used to F___ up EVERYTHING!.
Ash I have been around for a while and seen some perplexing things, this is just one of them.

Yeah Megs Ferrari only shifted out marginally.Amanda Turnbull stopped driving her horse out 10 mts from the line and probably made it look worse than what it was. To me there was nothing in it.
We had a horse one night at Parkes get carted from outside leader at top of straight to 6 wide and dead heated with the lead horse and when our driver asked to look at the video he was told by the officiating steward there was nothing to look at and with that steward declared all clear. It is hard not to say everything wasn't above board but leader also was even money favourite. You could smell a rat but what are you to do at the time.
Done us out of $3,ooo prize money for a stand alone win.
Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on
Have a look and tell me why we lost this race nobody i have spoken to can!http://www.trotstv.com.au/?mc=YU221113&rn=8!
Oh dear!!!! Remember that song from the 80's? Things that make you go mmmmmm!
Looked at that a number of times and IMO you are entitled to be perplexed, I would have been seeking an adequate explanation. because the video doesn't give one.
I emailed our beloved ceo but i think my email was intercepted before it got to him, not only were we a bit pissed about losing the prizemoney but the mare sat in the breeze broke the track record and in my opinion and a lot of others as well was that we should not have lost the race shes now retired and i dont know if i even want to breed fromher after that

Without seeing the head on camera, It's very hard to take the race away from Megs Ferrari. I couldn't really see where Meg's moved out and I think it could have been that Amanda needed to come a bit wider with her horse as she contacted Meg's wheel with her horse. IMHO Megs hard done by. Concerning what Greg mentioned, Shouldn't a driver always have the option to look at the replay before the all clear is given???
You see leaders boring out all the time on horses on their outside, boring back in on horses getting underneath them and they hang on to the race!... Sapio has driven an absolute 110% cracker on Meg and Amanda has driven her horse without due care and gets the bucks. Has harness racing gone all politically correct all of a sudden?
Sapio has neither gone in or out like you see every Thursday night at Penrith, just done his best and got the result.
(Disclaimer) We all need the head on vision to know exactly what interference has occurred. (Like Shepparton and Ballarat and Gloucester Park in recent times)
How about the sprint around them by Marty Monkhouser...that was exciting to watch!
