The rules of racing state that a horse must be 2 lengths clear of the horse behind and Takeover was not and hampered the second horse which was beaten by such a small margin and was past Takeover just past the post.
Forget the battlers and their money, how dark would the owners of HIW be?
It's their horse. their training fees, their vet fees etc etc.

you cant tell off the video i posted but if you find and look at the side shot video that they were replaying during the decision you can see that HW was not even close to TOT's heels. this rule about being two lengths in front before crossin lanes- where did you here that from?if thats a rule then its being broken every day without judges calling foul. i saw mitch beadman veer in and take out angland and bowman one day while they were moving up the middle and the judges could of cared less. bowman didnt say a word that day.
plain and simple bowman freaked made a bad move and cost himself the race. he felt embarrased and whined to the judges to clear his own wrong doing and for some crazy reason the judges fell for it.
