Astonishing! Was trying to think of a way to describe the win........Greg Hayes then said it.......'he was involved in the 26.5 first quater getting to the chair, from there he just owned them'. Astonishing!
Excuse my ignorance, I was too busy lauding the winner to go back and check the interference. Is someone willing to name & shame??
lost a lot of blood and possibly tendon damage...poor bugger.
Panella pulled out from behind smolda and took him out..
Yep, just watched replay of the incident several times and couldn't see Lauren turn her head to see if safe AT ALL! Big holiday and should be a serious fine...i seriously don't think she knows how wide her cart is that girl seen her do it before.
Beautide huge, congrats to the Tassie boys!
Both Mc Carthys out late both flew home, same for Restrepo...
Great race great result really.
Pretty sure she already had a 'holiday' that was to commence tonight.
She is already suspended but was aloud to drive this week and start suspension after today. She should get 6 month's for it bloody discgraceful performance. I believe if you are suspended you should start it after the day you get it. Did David Miles get banything for running up the ass of the horse in front of him on Mindarie Priddy ?
Mark Purdon 10 day's for his drive on smolda.
Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on
She got 18 days in Derby Heat http://www.trotstv.com.au/?mc=PC220214&rn=3. Exactly the same as today.....she doesn't even look to see if there's room to come out.
No wonder she likes to lead.
I trust IV will recover to race again.
I knew he was best horse in race but I had no idea how he would handle the distance and I had even less of an idea he'd be able to I'd it so tough and run away from them like he did. What a win Beautide.
GREAT run and a GREAT drive Beautide, hail the new hero of harness racing, everyone who regularly visits this forum knows I'm a huge fan, but by gee both horse and the young man further consolidated my opinion of them both.
Great to see the Rattray family enjoy the success they have well and truly earned, there are no overnight rags to riches stories, this family have been exceptional trainers for decades and decades, they finally found the horse to display their collective skills.
A wonderful day for Harness Racing in my opinion, and can I say it again....wonderful drive! on the best horse in the race!
