and to make matters a lot worse... they were stablemates!!!
Well well well.
I'll start with the defence. Alta Onassis was down in grade. He had been racing on pace (although he hadn't drawn back line last 5).
Now I'll go on the attack. How the f did that happen. Leading Lavros. Name says it all, its a leader. Read its form, its a deadset leader, drawn the front 4 times last 5 out, led 3 times and death seat once. The driver didn't go the whip once. I doubt the horse knew it was the home straight and time to get going. Leading Lavros looked good winning in 1.59 3 starts (backed up by quick times last two) but looked ordinary in 2.02 tonight.
Deadset joke.

That name just keeps popping up doesn't it brenno.
No need to guess which one I backed, suffice to say the bulk of punters saw it the same way as me. Even the astonishment in Freds voice said it all.
Geeze, more choreography involved there than Harley Medcalf's 'Burn The Floor'.

RACE 4 – OAMPS PACE - 2125 METRES
Pre race blood samples were taken from ALTA ONASSIS NZ.
Driver H James (HACHEM) pleaded guilty to a charge under Rule 163(1)(a) for causing interference in the approaching the 2000 metres he commenced to shift his runner in from a two wide position when not clear of AMBUSH PRINCE causing that runner to be checked and raced roughly. In assessing penalty stewards took into account H James’s guilty plea and driving record. H James had his licence to drive in races suspended for a period of 7 days.
SKITZO was held up for clear running until approaching the 100 metres.
NORMS SPIRIT was held up for clear running until passing the 50 metres.
A post race veterinarian examination of LEADING LAVROS NZ did not reveal any abnormalities.
Stewards opened an enquiry into the driving tactics of S Golding (LEADING LAVROS NZ) and M Muscat (ALTA ONASSIS NZ). After taken evidenced from both drives and trainer K Pizzuto the enquiry was adjourned for a time and date to be fixed. Stewards further requested that S Golding, M Muscat and K Pizzuto must supply their phone records and betting account information.
Post race swab samples were taken from ALTA ONASSIS NZ.

It would appear some of us are whistling the same tune that the stewards are playing, whilst some would rather just play their own music because they don't like the sound of ours. You can't keep drowning us out VVV. We've all got eyes and call it how we see it. Guilty or innocent makes no difference to me...atleast the stewards are acting on a suspect race. Can't ask for more than that. Cannot wait for the inevitable Youtube clip to appear.
????? The old misplaced self-righteousness routine eh? Brad. You're not so quick off the pitch today huh?
Suggest you go look up the meaning of the word Choreography, especially as it applies to that race, BEFORE you open your trap. I was agreeing with you Trooper. It looked awful. Breno's right on the money.

Well stop being so bloody cryptic VVV. My bad. The way I read it, it was a crack at the usual suspects (AKA moi and the like) getting onto the usual bandwagon, blowing the whistles and honking the horns when we are getting served up what can only be termed questionable performances. Still, take a freeby at me at my expense but take into account your "Jatz's" welfare were mentioned in my prayers. We are due a Youtube 'Special'
This one??
