SR6,

They're kidding.......!
Wasn't it opportune that the leader eased out from the fence in the straight to allow the long-shot to secure a run!
Not only that...why was a prominent rider peering behind him in the early stages of the race...maybe someone was yelling out to him to "follow the script.......!"
The sooner we get an ICAC officer in Sydney racing the better....!
This in no way implies that the current officials are not doing their job but rather, they can get on with the day to day operations and the ICAC officer can initiate his/her own enquiries.
Can anyone come up with a viable argument in the negative?
Please don't say the extra cost because the AJC is employing new bureacrats whilst telling the trainers there is no more money left in the "kitty."

Cheers.
