You're kidding!
Quote from Roger James in our press:
"Not only is there doubt, there was not one piece of evidence produced by stewards that showed it was even He's Remarkable that caused any interference at all.
"That alone should have been sufficient to have the protest dismissed."

Don't agree with any of that. 2 strides after Waratahs Secret was pole-axed McEvoy had He's Remarkable in the very position WS would have been in, not long after that he was 4 deep. Clearly indicates he was pushing out deliberately. The fact that WS was squeezed between two runners does not diminish McEvoys culpability. And Luckygrey lost a good length as a result of the backwash.
Fair decision in my view.
I did notice Ranger seemed to be cruising into the race right before he was smashed. Bring on the Kingston Town! |
