Just read the rules and it seems they are still declared starter even if you start from wrong barrier.
Launceston Race 2. Gareth Rattray horse is ODM and drew 13. It scored up behind them and was going to miss the start by 10m so Gareth Rattray never made an effort to get in the right barrier position. He just went straight into the running line and ended up 1 out 4 back rather when he probably would have ended up 1 out 6 or 1 out 7 back. I don't think a fine suffices in this situation. Should be a DQ.

It sure is an interesting one Brendan.Originally Posted by aussiebreno
A horse drawn the outside of the 2nd line in a Vic Cup - driver makes sure it is tardy scoring up and so being 10m behind them does a Gareth Rattray and starts from more or less 'a third row' running line position
Watched a replay of Launceston on Sky - if you wait for the results, which are still not up over an hour after it has been run! It says to allow up to 2 days for video replay RIDICULOUS - this is 2017
(Just noticed R3 results up but not R2 but it is obviously all clear as TAB.com has dividends up)

Different rules down this way gents. It also takes longer to cut and splice the tape for the video replay here because the editor does not work weekends and has every 2nd Monday off............
I have heard that this race from 2014 is supposed to be the race in question

The Albion Park Stewards Report makes interesting reading for R8
"Driver T Dixon (FOURSHARESMOREBEERS) was issued a charge under Rule 240 (a) (1) in that approaching the 100m she directed FOURSHARESMOREBEERS Inwards in a conscious effort to afford OUR OVERANOVA (G. Dixon) clear running between FOURSHARESMOREBEERS and RELEVEN DREAM. As a consequence of the shift in by FOURSHARESMOREBEERS, IONA GRINNER which was racing to its inside in the sprint lane sustained interference. Ms Dixon pleaded not guilty to the charge and made submissions that FOURSHARESMOREBEERS was inclined to hang in which resulted in it shifting in abruptly at that point despite her efforts. Stewards elected to adjourn the inquiry to 10:00am Tuesday 19 December 2017 so that the previous racing manners of FOURSHARESMOREBEERS (NZ) could be reviewed and also to analyse wagering on the race."

This is the race

Still waiting to hear what took place this morning
Social media is full of accusations suggesting there is more to this than just the Dixons, so the public need to see a thorough investigation to begin restoring faith in Qld harness racing
