Oh Marcus...

Very well put Chippy!!! I did notice a looooong time ago that the loading in Kim was definitely top of the class many years ago.

Some can argue, conspiracy theorists that is, that this is all deliberate in order to delay proceedings and allow a surge of late betting to boost the pools but we in KZN definitely coupled with the French.:

But French horses will stand all day...

Unfortunately not too much can be said on the subject until NHA sort the problem out as one could be brought up on antiquated charges of " bringing racing into disrepute"

Why did they not make that particular horse a non runner?.

I saw that race (false start). After about 200meters from the start, Marcus looked back and had seen that most of the horses were being pulled back but he made very little or no attempt to stop.

Did anyone else notice this?

Any comments on these half stalls?
Is it NZ that use them

Anton said they had gone a fair way before the siren went. By that time King O was in full stride. He according to Anton(and he said that before he ever ran) King o is an extremely strong horse and he had no chance of pulling it up. P King would have run 4th if he had run as watching him come past the post I think we would all have been chasing him home!
