Durbanville 2nd yesterday- Schlecter objects not stipes and obj upheld, Jockey Neisius no fine no suspension. When he lost race on objection with silver apples a while back they give him a week and loses race, when he won on chippendale he wins and gets a week. What happened to consistency? a few months ago a horseof bass english garden i think it was took apache and delpech 15m across the track wins by a shd and cos jock doesnt object its all clear- i am just amazed. please can someone explain or am i just watching the wrong things. Secondly in all my years of racing have i ever seen such strange results- yes i know seasons do have an effect on results etc but lately its been ridiculous -especially in cape and dbn. I have heard plenty rumours about jocks all been involved with the same punter !!!!! i know many jocks and i really dont want to believe this but if its true and certain races are being or attempted of being fixed then this game is going back 20 years and will lose the meduim sized punters who will look for better options. I have been racing for 24 years and love this sport and the challenge of choosing pa's , win bets etc, and study formgrids for hours when i can- whats the point when there is so much inconsistency.
i am not responding to anyone on this matter - it is just my opinion and wanted to get it out. the rules must be the same for everyone- jocks , trainers etc and when the big boys decide to put someone in charge to police it all without prejudice and penalise all the same then racing will be okay again. Stipes must stop victimising some jocks and open their eyes to others as well and trainers alike.
