Title: mohawk tuesday race 11
Post by: Brown jug on December 22, 2020, 11:24:27 PM
not sure how a horse breaks, gallops without losing significant ground  and goes inside multiple pylons and stays up
try explaining that to a relative newcomer to the sport
i cant even understand it, doesn't it just look wrong ??

How do you not place this horse last? Breaks on his own and goes inside a lot more than 3 consecutive pylons. Wow.

He lost considerable ground  after he made the break............ .......

He went  inside the pylons as a safety move...so as not to interfere with other horses..and not cause as an accident

He   did not gain any ground while  being inside the pylons......

And he came back onto race course ..without interfering with any other horses

All this is covered in the rules

The judges should have given   McKelvie  , the announcer , some of this info  to share with the public

DO YOU WEAR IDIOT GLASSES WHEN YOU WATCH RACES OR JUST WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR ASS? YOUR SYNOPSIS IS TOTALLY WRONG

AS LONG AS CUSTOMERS ARE IDIOTS LIKE THIS PUTZ AND DICEMAN, SPORT DONT HAVE A CHANCE

actually Barnet it is attitudes and comments like yours that will doom the sport
maybe he lost ground to the 3 that finished ahead of him but how about the two he just barely beat for fourth
i mean he did go off the racing course correct??
and if all that went on did not violate any of a multitude of rules than I suggest the rules be changed
next time maybe this could happen around the final turn and the horse can just cut the corner and rejoin the field about halfway down the stretch, no harm in that right

that has happened before - famous instance at Western Fair Raceway a few years back (created their own passing lane on the far turn). tmbz1

"....going inside the pylons when not forced to do so as the results of another driver and/or horse shall be in violation of this rule."
