Act of War scratching - reason to be advised

10 years 7 months ago

I'm sure as Bob intimated the horse was never going to run in the race.
But surely, false or not, they have to supply a reason ???
I don't want to get into another debate with Louis over the lack of transparency, but this has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous.

No reason will be fortcoming alll. You will hear "scratched with stipes permission"
As a matter of interest the scratching was planned considering:
1 no betting value at 5/10
2 Andrews was carded to at least get a price which DB must have punted. The lighhtie gets jocked off with striker put on
3 the rest is historry
That's a plan come together.
This horse is set for the Derby

Now this to me is much more worrying than that drivel about the QP being fixed

Royal P i might be wront but i`m sure there was never betting before the jockey arrangements came through

The Scratching and the Jockey change happened about a minute apart

I'm kinda sure betting was open when the discussion broke that AoW was goin to be scratched.
Andrews was carded as the jock.
In a big race as the Queens a top jock like striker not approached for a ride or was it already done by the JR stable
I agree the scratching n jock change took place simutaneously BUT was there a plan already in place n dats so much for transparency

RP there was definitely no betting before AOW was scratched from the Politician Stakes and as far as the Queens Plate goes Striker was always carded to ride Louis The King not quite sure were you got the Andrews ride from...

Give everything but up!

Gentlemen,

That's why it is called Gambling.

I got 3000/100 on an ATC with Strydom on The Conglomerate, and SuperMac on Promicing Polly.

Earlier I had also queried Andrews on The Conglomerate !

I had also said I don't like Fourie on Legislate.

I got 1200/100 on Futura. This was after Faydherbe had fluffed on Hammies Hooker !

Cheers !

PS. Mr. Walker had a lot to say about my strategy, but i quickly destroyed his arguments !
