Was there an explanation Katie??? Looks like the same goes for the 1st emergency.:confused:

Good luck with that. My calls to the handicappers in WA over similar issues have always fallen on deaf ears. They always come up with a reason why you are wrong and they are right.
They can't arbitrarily select horses. There are rules. He's Royal Blue has better form than 2 other horses, therefore he should get a start and they should be the emergencies.
Clearly they made a mistake.
My god I am so annoyed. This kind of crap makes me want to forget about horses and divert my attention to some other hobby instead. Its not often you get one thats good enough to win a Group 1 and when you get the horse, they should get their deserved start.
Just looked at it Katie and they have clearly selected the field on Lifetime Stakes.
On that criteria I am afraid that your Blue is a long last
If they went on this season's racing only (it is a 3yo race after all) you nudge out the 5 horse by $1500
I looked at that too Kev but doesn't mention stakes as a criteria in the original program from the HRA calendar, using http://www.harnessracingforum.com/sh...ace-Conditions
Unless WA have a separate gazette but, pretty sure, if you go through the WA website you still end up at the HRA meeting programs/calendar.
Don't know what that means Katie.
