Woodbine is Canadian not US

Dear Tellytrack, the Canadian flag is not the Stars 'n Stripes but the Maple leaf.

Watever it was its kak racing.
The one race I back a winner,at 6/1.
The pull an inquiry pull the win away and change the result.
Utter kak,all the replays they showed no interference at all watsoever.
Even the guy on teletrack says he honestly doesn't know wat the inq was for.
Pathetic ,that's wat it is.
Hope someone from teletrack or wherever reads this.
No more usa or even canada racing for me.
Eish.

I thought it was a cigarette ?

Your criticism/opinion of US racing is allowed but of course there are a few things to consider.

Most people often during objections wonder if the stewards got it right or not. In the USA its simple:

BLACK or White you cause interference YOU OUT

Herewith the report on the race:

Here the video replay where you CAN clearly see interference. If you had backed the interfered with horse you would NOT want some part time opinionated fool having the power to affect your finances with opinion.

If you look carefully at the video he side swipes the horse and INMHO got what he deserved...

Now teletrack SHOULD have replayed this and seen it.

NOW if it was UK racing the horse would have kept the race because " the best horse won"
IN SA the horse would have kept the race because the horse it bumped and forced to take a bad step ran nowhere.

i think i like the usa rule

Its a crap rule,you have jockeys going off to fast because they dont want to be stuck in
behind.Hold up horses have to come on the outside(jockeys to scared to go for a gap).
No jocks brave enough to go for a rail run.
Next thing you know, they will be running in lanes.
I went to go to Tampa Bay Downs when in the states and found the whole experience boring..

dave

so you think the UK rule is better?

Every year i see horses winning races and interfering with other horses and because "well we cant be sure of what would have happened" or "the best horse won" for me this is unacceptable and AS YOU know they are currently looking at FULL time professional stewards.

For me i like the black and white situation. Then mere mortals CANNOT ruin it for me

Easy, I'm glad you could make out what was happening but the video footage was so over-exposed that I found it near impossible, as the studio presenter, to see what had happened. In the event, it was a bit like the Gatecrasher/Distinctly/Principal Boy Durban July, with the relegation of Coollatin having resulted in the race being handed, on a plate, to a horse racing on its own on the opposite side of the course. That horse's jockey actually lost his stirrup irons, so he was a very lucky winner.

I am not disputing that the eventual winner might have got the race without being involved at all and that this might seem farcical BUT to protect the punter and the integrity of racing i feel that if you cause interference you should be out.

Even yesterday the eventual winner benefits from the demise of the "1st past the line" BUT we need to see that the horse that was interfered with would probably have run into the placings and therefore the correct result happens
