Hollywoodbets Durban July – Rough Stuff, But Crawford Does It Again!
I don't understand.....JP gets a16 day suspension, yet the horse is allowed to keep the race ? If See it Again did not have to pull up he would have finished much closer, yet our pumpkin heads (stewards)say it did not affect the result .Biggest load of horse manure. Horse racing in this country is truly The Sport of Kings...and as punters we still don't learn..Lucky boy Mr.Bortz.Sorry Muis, just a few hundred thousand Rands you got hooked

Hollywoodbets Durban July – Rough Stuff, But Crawford Does It Again!
Good morning Mr Ed.Trust you made a fortune at the races ,Africa's biggest race day and a day full of shame in my humble my opinion. iIt's been a real farce in that:
1.Gratuities are given to the few privileged in that go back the past 4 years,is it co incidental that the so called big racing owners, and patrons whom dug deep in their pockets to rescue SA racing have benefitted hugely for their financial services rendered?
2.Clearly without a shadow of doubt overwhelming evidence was there on a silver platter to conclude the Stipendiary Stewards were compelled to look into the outcome of the main race which in my opinion was shockingly lacking.
3.It begs the question why not?
4.How does it make sense that the winning jockey gets a severe penalty for his transgressions for the ride yet the outcome of the race stands.That in itself is non sensical.
4.Surely all and sundry can conclude in their reasonable mind and see with their naked eye that the race was rough,tough and run in a fashion that demanded serious sanction against the winning horse, and jockey for its transgressions.
5.The impeding of See it Again,the closing in onto Cousin Casey taking up it's running space at the crucial stages ,the use of the whip by the rider of the winner on the head and face of Cousin Casey, did the stipendiary stewards turn a blind eye on such transgressions.?Did they not see that happening?
6.Why do u allow such glaring transgressions to... read more

These are the current objection rules
Oriental Charm showed real courage as Flag man who ran his heart out seemed to head him at one stage
If you had watched how he won his last race he gallop the opposition silly and wasn't stopping
So you saying they must take
July away from him and put SIA in 4th and OC 5th, rules got it

Well done - as I've been writing here for weeks - this horse since going over ground has been the real deal.
GWE with his racing style was never going to win the July - never - well done to the bookies again.
What a difference a year makes - Cousin Casey being scratched from the July last

My 2 cents...Why push Flagman in the gallops prior to main race. Would have won.
