In this case the 2nd leg of the JP has NOT run .... according to Nico's statement on TT, the 'other' representatives (including those from Phumela) were of the opinion that conditions were not 'unsafe' and that racing could continue - the jocks on the panel thought it was 'unsafe' and then had a pow-wow with all the other jocks and then all the jocks unanimously decided to call it off - now difficult to tell from a distance who is 'right' - as mentioned the 'P' representatives would most likely have wanted one more race (2nd leg of the JP) to take place in order to claim 25% of the JP pool. We will never know just how 'democratic' the jocks decision was - it is quite wet, but as many suggest, not 'dangerous', at worst 'unsafe' ? The fact is though that they have the only say as they can't be forced to ride - so as Mr H says, a lot of time wasted with the panel inspection, etc.
The takeout situation however is blatantly just greed - not sure how this can be rectified - does a punter need to take court action ?
