SR5,
Surely the Stewards must acknowledge a pattern emerging here....why is there a prevalence of favourites missing the start and playing no further part in the race due to hard riding to catch up to the field or being forced wide.....?
Come on.....they are "fair dinkum" kidding...how is it that the betting public can see this pattern but those entrusted to protect "the punter" cannot....?
They get on the radio and give glib responses to questions regarding some inglorious runs and imo are very quickly losing the confidence of the racing/betting public who pay their wages.....!!!!

Cheers.
