I'm sure MISSILE LAVROS was not same type of horse!!!!!!!!!
If she hands up gets dragged but through the field is that a smart drive??????? I don't think so.
A few points to think about.
Is MISSILE LAVROS usually driven in that matter????????? (No in my opinion)
What was alcorn having a big look around for at the bell??????? Maybe the Stablemate??? (nearly would of wrenched his neck looking to check where it was!!!!)
Did he give his horse every chance to obtain the best possible placing???????? (No in my opinion)
These points should be what stewards look at!!!!!!!!
I'm not look at this through my pocket, as I backed the 3rd horse, and I Completely agree with you Centreman...
Maybe my post wasn't as clear as it could have been.
I think competive racing is important and Luke had every right to look for the front, given Lombo Afterburner had handed up it's previous starts...
A 28.5 first quarter is not competitive racing. It's a joke in that grade.
Drivers of horses getting beaten 30m when they decide to cook the leader (the horse wasn't pulling or uncontrollable and there wasn't a cripple 3 wide looking for the breeze) should be dealt with by the stewards.
