Go back to Menangle 28/1 Race 7 and watch Mitch Reese try to get off the pegs. Unsuccessful with his jostling he has to wait until the run comes. His drive was patient, competitive and sporting. He showed respect for his rivals. One bloke applies reasonable pressure, the other bloke thinks its Ok to drive straight into your rival after hooking out with the right rein.
G'day Brad,
like everyone else mate you're entitled to your opinion. I think, as I said, it was ugly but not dangerous. I have served that up and copped it plenty of times from people who know how to do it safely with no problems, it's when you get idiots trying it and don't know when and where it's unsafe that you run into problems and someone ends up on the deck.
as i've stated earlier I'm neither a fan nor a detractor of GH Jnr, but that's twice in the last couple of weeks we've seen him trying to push clear and so far he's displayed in my opinion he knows how to do it safely, many do not.

Cheers,
Dan.

PS you'll have me by the short and curlies if he decks someone pushing out...stay tuned.LOL.
