SA Objection Rule Needs Reviewing

2 years 5 months ago

It's high time this got reviewed.

How on earth can Clafoutis clearly take out two horses there and there not be an objection at least? There is no ways of saying she categorically had their measure. Both horses 3 and 9 were heavily eased as a result of her movement.

I understand the rules, but to me they are wrong in this instance. Clafoutis should be disqualified for what happened.

If it were French racing, would have been disqualified.

I know.

There are too many instances with the SA rules where people feel aggrieved with the outcome of objections. It's too subjective.

This is a perfect case of a horse clearly affecting the chances of two other horses in a race. It should be no debate.

DISQUALIFIED!
