    All we want is consistent rulings.

    Is it only me or is any body else sick and tired of seeing Seel N Print being positioned last or tucked away on the rails near last. If this is how this horse races then I would think that a New Zealand Cup campaign would be a waste of time.

    They won't be getting home in 27.2 and 27.1 in a NZ Cup which brings Seel N Print style right back into it.

    What about in the NZ free For All, S'N'P led easily, gave up the lead got shuffled back...........did not run on!.........maybe that's why they normally restrain at the start!.........I think that maybe the travel, plus his form has been tapering off in recent runs, and therefore really needs a spell or freshen up!

    When I started this thread, my concern was the judgement shown by the driver. After last nights MM maybe it should be directed to the stable. Both horses had no chance after 400m and the lead at all costs mentality must be questioned. Did these horses finish in their best possible positions? How do the owners feel?

    On another note, only in March this year L. Panella got 8 weeks for careless driving in the Inter Final which finished the career of I'm Victorious. Then last night the same careless driving, this time into Avonova, thankfully no career ending injury but the stewards give her 5 weeks. These are the cream of the crop horses and this type of driving must stop and 5 weeks for a 2nd charge in 8months (with 2 months suspended from driving) is imo inconsistent policing.How can you get less the 2nd time both in Group1 races.

    totally agree bailey,six months would have been generous.....this driver has an attitude problem as to rules of race driving and a good long break from driving looking over the fence, i think,would do more good than therapy sessions.

    Couldn't agree more Bailey.

    Regarding last nights race, I believe the Avonnova camp should also be hanging their heads.

    This is exactly what should happen. But whether the board/stewards have got the balls to do it is another matter.

    What you do then is put conditions on her trial drives.
    (1) Do a significant number (don't state a figure) of satisfactory drives.
    (2) Must drive at tracks of different size (1400, 1000 & 800 metre tracks).
    (3) Must go back at the start and be in the one of the last two positions for the first half of the trial, and then make a forward move.
    (4) Must not cause any interference or she starts again at zero.
    (5) If she gets put back to zero a second time, her driving licence is cancelled.

    This lead at all costs and knock 'em over mentality MUST stop.
