CODE BAILEY NZ was presented three (3) minutes past the allocated time.
Prior to a scheduled inquiry on Saturday 29 February, HRNSW Stewards were informed that an interim decision had been made that for all horse’s subject of late arrivals in Grand Circuit or Group 1 events, which includes the use of the retention facility in Grand Circuit or Group 1 events, the Chief Executive on notification of the Chief Steward and/or Integrity Manager, will be provided the power of a Steward under Rule 300 and will hold the sole discretionary power to determine the circumstance of the late arrival and to determine if the subject horse(s) are withdrawn due to late arrival.
Some will no doubt say, sense prevailing but I doubt it provides much comfort to the Cross stable who had their horses withdrawn from the Newcastle Mile for being 6 mins late
It wouldn't be a Miracle Mile without rules being and made (and broken) on the run.
I will be interested in seeing the replay for R2 at Melton tonight if Mediatec ever get it up
because the Stewards were clearly not happy

Interesting run that would have kept the stewards on their toes. Also interesting they reckon the winner pulled hard because he was driven hard to lead but then the driver was seen to be getting up the horse from the 1200 metres. Perhaps their binoculars fogged up.
I'm not saying anything, but I'd kill to eat whatever that horse is being fed. It would restore my energy levels to where they should be!
Trevor and Kevin, there are rumours that the horse went straight to a rave party after the race and danced until 6 am ! Unconfirmed of course.
I notice the driver had the reins in one hand for the last part of the race also. As for pulling hard, the stewards need to go to speck savers !
Totally agree about the need for an optometrist appointment - I thought there was only one quarter where he was not urging him on
In the previous month he had had 4 starts where he lobbed in the sit (3) every time but could not run a place
All those runs were over 2100m, maybe he can only run 1700m
Maybe the rain affected track helped his legs?
Maybe the field was that bad?
?????
Hope the stewards checked the brand's!

I see that Robert King is listed as a Grade A trainer on Harnessweb
It must be like getting a license to drive a car, once you get it you keep it forever for I see the above start was Robert King's one and only starter as a trainer for 18-19
He has had none in 19-20, 10 in 17-18, None in 16-17, 5 in 15-16, 15 in 14-15 when he last had a winner
