Stewards report
Pradas Ideal Dahling- Near the 900m broke and was retired form the event.
A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have sustained a broken off hind pastern and subsequently was euthanized on humane grounds.

I can only imagine the grief to the connections of this pacer

Horrible for the owners.

Ffs Gloucester Park
Played the 1 anchored 2nd/3rd/4th
And of course went a tad wide in the win box. And had more units on 1 - 4th/3rd/2nd...
Still a profit but ffs - can't punt

What's up with Jim Jaques's calls these days?
Twice in a week hes called the runner up the winner at Globe Derby.
Aug 8th R1 Called Steam Cleaned the winner despite Lindi Lincoln getting up on the outside by a nose and then last night called The Id'es of March as hanging on to win despite Futurist claiming him on the line by a nose. Wasn't even a MAYBE hanging onto win, he was definite ! :oops: And then after calling the 1st 3 across the line declared The Dapper Don and Corey Odonohue were in a photo for 4th and that either one would put value into the TRIFECTA ! :oops: :oops:
Yes i can accept that a caller may occasionally get something wrong but there's certainly NO EXCUSE in a close finish to straight out say a horse has won when it hasn't ! Nothing against a caller having a go at the winner but at least say MAYBE won or I THINK it's won but hold on to your tickets if you're on the other or something like that. Also his attention seeking comments on guessing the exact margins are tiresome like such and such wins by 9 1/2 metres or 43 metres. Maybe thats not a big deal but when he goes "and Kallawarra King wins by 28 metres NO make that 27" then i really think punters listening really think he's making the call about him and not the horses and race itself.
Having said that i think he's a great race caller and has done a great job over a long period of time but needs to stop making "Hero calls" in close finishes

Speaking of accuracy
Jimmy Jacques and Jackpot Jim have the same JJ initials

I have talked to a trots caller from the past
His greatest fear is calling the wrong horse in photos

JJ is a flamboyant caller
He makes assessments on runners chances in the run, and has a stab in close photo finishes
He has a go, thats his inimitable style
Very occasionally he will muff up, but its the good with bad



Yes he has muffed a couple of photo finishes recently, that can happen
Credit where its due , he has the aggarts to predict a photo finish
Its never boring listening to Jimmys calls

At least posters may have learnt something
That Jimmy Jaques and Jackpot Jim are 2 different people
Now just need to clarify if Jim05 is not Jimmy Jaques as well

And Jim does it again today in Race 2 at Globe calling Rhythmatic the winner tho it ran 2nd to Goodjet.

Tho this time he can be forgiven as Rhythmatic swooped down the outside to win clearly by 1.3 metres. So how did it get beaten???
It galloped literally 2 strides from the post and for that was relegated to 2nd place :shock: :shock: :shock:

Now i've been going to the trots for decades and have never seen a horse relegated under these particular circumstances in SA

Was told that there was a recent change in the rules in that if a horse gallops over the line it will be relegated if it wins by less than a length ???

Can someone confirm this?

Because under this particular circumstance for the winner to be relegated was absolutely ABSURD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously Jimmy J was oblivious to the rule as he mentioned it skipping over the line but never mentioned it may be in trouble losing the race.

WTF is going on? Betting turnover and confidence on the trots is probably at an all time low and with these types of decisions being made punters will turn further away from the sport.

DISGRACE :oops: :oops:

There was a race at Albion Park a few months back.
It ran 2nd or 3rd and galloped over the line but only a couple of strides and didnt make any ground.

That horse got relegated. Having NFI i thought it was more for excessive galloping and making ground??

Race 2 GDP 17/8

Over the line
7 Rhythmatic
1 Goodjet
3 Bionic Falcon
4 Litbitachailatte

Rhythmatic was last with about 500m to go, got to 4th and wide on home turn , finished very well
Rhythmatic hit the front with about 25m to go, and was drawing away on the line to win by about 1.3m
Rhythmatic broke its gait just before the finishing line
Rhytymatic continued to gallop over the line , and was subsequently relegated to 2nd position as a result

The new law , 155 section whatever , was recently made in accordance to this happening
The law as explained :
* Any horse that has broken gait free of interference and remains in the incorrect gait when its nose reaches the finish line
and is covered by another horse , any other horse, or horses in the correct gait, it shall be placed behind such horse or horses.*

What this means
The new result
1 Goodjet
7 Rhythmatic
3 Bionic Falcon
4 Lilbitachailatte

Now this is the thing as I use my Adrian Monk logistic as to what happened
Rhythmatic galloped, the only pacers that are deemed to be able to finish above it are horses who finish within a body length of Rhythmatic
Ive watched the finish
On the finishing line- the 2nd horse past the post, Goodjet was beaten by about a metre
Goodjets nose was equal with Rhythmatics saddlecloth, which is deemed as within the 'covered' requirements and within a body length
The 3rd pacer past the post was Bionic Falcon whos nose was about a metre behind Rhythmatics bum and not within a body length

So only Goodjet was close enough to be promoted past Rhythmatic
Bionic Falcon and the rest of the field stay in the same positions

Basically , you need to finish within a body length, that being a leeway of approximately 2.2 metres

I wont offer an opinion on this new jurisdiction
But in going forward new rules that are made could be displayed or made public in as many circles as possible
That being and including
Facebook
Emails
Harness racing site
Any other industry website
Race callers to be informed and to notify the rule on sky if possible [ at least for the first race run after the rule was made]
Race callers who preview races on the radio to inform the public [ tabradio ]
Radio show hosts to inform the public [ 5RPH trotting show , saturday mornings]

Haha No matter what Jimmy says he will never be in the Bill Colins class of race callers with his famous "Kingston Town CAN'T win " statement.

Jimmy - "Away, Nangar Cookie missed the start - she was last out so has NO HOPE now" :oops: :oops: Big statement seeing at the time was less than 2 lengths behind the 2 nd fave who he declared "Home and Hosed" just seconds later :oops: :oops:

For the punters watching the race live or on telly they can form their own opinions but for the punters listening to the radio broadcast he has a responsibility to those to be more accurate. I can accept that once in a blue moon you can get it wrong like Bill Collins did but for Jim it's becoming all too frequent.
Probably not a huge deal as he's only making himself look a bit silly more than anything.
At least he called the right dog across the line :lol:

Is he still around??
Haven't heard him in a long time??

Given the recent calls by Jimmy, he may get a call up sooner rather than later...
