Yeah, I did have my angry pants on LOL or maybe I had my poker visor on
It looked really off to me and we cannot afford for things to look off.
I am a poker player and when something does not feel right that is when you suspect a bluff (or a trap). A good bluff tells a logical story.
David Moran will be glad to know I am in the minority on his drive

I can vouch for the responsiveness of the stewards for within an hour of forwarding the above inquiry to mailto:askthestewards@hrv.org.au I received an answer.
The matter is still under investigation

The concern by the stewards over R5 at Maryborough seems a strange one as Jaden Gill was the outsider of the field (and has not won for a couple of years) but they have adjourned the matter for consideration. I cannot see it myself but love that they are obviously being very thorough

Interesting to note that it was the place-getters not the stewards who protested which saw Cardinal Balboa disqualified and lose R4 at Melton

The last race at Mildura on Sunday
Poor old Wrinkle Knutt has to undergo a pre and post race inspection because he has had over 200 starts
Then Ellen Tormey was suspended for whipping him on more than 20 occasions
and he deadheats with his stablemate for first (the stable did have half the six horse field)
I suppose he was lucky that there was no protest (unlikely from stable!) about the whipping advantage

SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT:
Mildura – 2 September 2016
RACE 5 – PARK DOUGLAS PRINTING PACE (2190 MS)
Stewards have concluded an inquiry into the driving tactics adopted by Boris Devcic when the driver of Ona Rocky Beach NZ in the abovementioned race.
The concerns held by Stewards centered around Mr Devcic’s decision to drive Ona Rocky Beach NZ forward at the start which appeared in contrast to the tactics adopted in recent times and further Ona Rocky Beach NZ improving to the inside of Gollahman approaching the 1400m which prevented Gollahman from obtaining the position outside the leader The Dapper Don, which was also trained by Mr Devcic.
This matter was initially adjourned to allow Stewards the opportunity to review all wagering on this event.
Mr Devcic was advised that whilst Stewards held concerns with the tactics he adopted there was not sufficient evidence to pursue the matter further, however Stewards would be closely monitoring the tactics adopted on stable runners moving forward.

Sadly, it can be summarized as: The Stewards have done Nothing

News from the Vic Stewards.
If you are on the lookout for the result of an adjourned inquiry you will no longer have to read every single stewards report (as you do not know where it may pop up).
From now on Adjourned Inquiry reports will be included in weekly 'Stewards Supplementary Reports' which can be found under Stewards Wrap - I am still going to campaign for them to just be given their own heading n Stewards Wrap as Supplementary reports are generally just trainer feedback reports

There is an Adjourned Inquiry into R6 at Melton last night
All 6 horses off the front. Stunning Grin outside fr advised of a change of tactic LOL - have a look and see if you think there was any intention other than to lead at all costs.
Dan's call makes it clear that he was not too impressed with the race
