I am a little confused with this American Style driving of leaning way back in the gig. It is my understanding that drivers must remain within the confines of the gig. That said, I pose this question, in today's $200,000 Ladyship Mile won by Frith was the 2nd horse inconvenienced when pulling off Frith's back well in the straight with Frith's driver leaning back out of the gig by as much as 1 metre. Ok, Frith won by 1.3 metres but what would or could have happened if the margin was a head or neck. Is this grounds for a protest?
Or have the rules changed to allow this style.
