It is so blatant that you cannot help but think NZ racing is stuffed if they allow this crap

Kev,

have a closer look at the replay, MM never gave the horse a loose rein at any stage ( for a reason) and in the fraction of a second preceding him taking a bit of a hold the horse rolls in his hind end gait. In my humble opinion, McKendry did what he is known for doing, giving the horse every possible chance and hence the owners ( and punters) the best result possible.
