Someone's been reading the rule book?

For an experienced horseman it's not very hard to do...while conversely it's really hard to prove. It's much the same as the reason why a horse that is on the lead and starts to drift late in the stretch almost never drifts out of the path of a horse coming from the rear...and instead drifts into its path...as in hanging to the inside if the closing horse is coming up the pylons and hanging up the track if the closer is coming at it to the outside.
I'm a complete bozo in the bike, I sit like a 125kg bag of Chaff, and even with my modest abilities I can make one drift about if I wanted to & you'd be pretty hard pressed to see it.

The best way to stop them drifting is uphold a few protests just ask Robbie Morris.

True, but that brings me back to Stewarding by the Tote Board.
Didn't Robbie drift INTO the path of the fav?
If instead Fitzy's horse was poking through at 40/1 and Robbie's was the fav...what price it was upheld?
I reckon 100/1 & blowing like fat man running up stairs.

Geeze VOR, you know...Bruce Springsteen wrote a song about that sort of thing.

Just wanted to find a protest 2 V 1 in a black type event in NSW that was upheld ..... I can not be held responsible for history.

Ah yes, this is true. May I suggest that you print out the page & press it in a heavy book alongside any four leaf clovers you may happen to find...for that sort of thing is is just as rare a commodity.
