Funny thing with that judgement they jockeys do it all the time a nothing nothing comes out of the matter what so special about this in and out running if this horse these stewards are so bias they know who to pick on all we punters want is fairness and consistency
Ceratin that she will appeal.
Why it takes so long to update the Statistics for the various Categories, we the Race Fans have interest in knowing what the Current weekly Standings are
That is the job of the promoting company.
I think it is very harsh. If my memory serves me right, on that day the horse broke very badly and had no chance. Maybe for that reason Mis Fletcher took it easy on her.
Almost certain that she will appeal.
Imagine being suspended for 25 race days for riding a maiden horse that ran 1 04 3 for 5 st 😂😂😂 a horse that only ran two times in it's life a maiden who is capable of improvement at anytime why just because the horse won by ten lengths question ❓ what is more impressive a horse winning by a neck in 56 seconds for 5 st or a horse winning by 10 lengths in 1 04 3 seconds for 5 st stewards a maiden horse can improve overnight they go to their beds f class horses and wake up a class horses never underestimate the ability a maiden can show it doesn't take two weeks in just takes one night damn idiots them
