Zarantz trained by Peters trainer. Ridden by Peters jockey. Winner owned by Peters.
But not stablemates, Drongo.!!!
Like the trot analogy Sonny.
The way the favourite was handed the lead leaving the straight, only to have the horse that gave up the lead immediately peel out to sit outside the leader was reminiscent of most races at GP on a Friday night. Lol

my opinion after that, and seeing that material man was forced to work much much much much more than in the bunbury cup, is that ........
zarantz rider intent, in MY opinion, was to hurt the leader, but of course that means hurting itself too.
was it team riding????
i don't know, but it is perfectly understandable that people could interpret it that way.

Chances are not hurt if Parnham Restrains and takes a sit though. Poor rides from both jocks in a 7 horse field

not to mention that material man was obviously overracing, anyway.
maybe he went a bit too hard to get lead in the first instance(and cause of overracing?), but i am sure he would not have expected what zarantz rider did.
parnam maybe not the best, but i don't doubt his intent was to win
i don't doubt smith's intent either!!!
The other argument though is why should the hot favourite get it easy in front ? The race becomes a procession and ho hum Material Man gets left alone and probably wins.
See both sides of the coin on this one.

Geez ""Peters man". Going far and wide to try and find a comparable "dodgy ride"setup to the Pinjarra Cup.
Your assessment of the rider wasn't prepared to take the gap is ludicrous. I must have been watching another replay. He fell off without the horse moving one inch. The jock fell in the path of other horses and could have been seriously injured. He was on the well backed horse.
Gotta do better than that in trying to fabricate a suspect ride in order to take the focus off the Pinjarra Cup perceived team riding.
TUT TUT TUT boys.
You only have to go to Geraldton and look at the Nat The Fyfe ride to see "SUSPECT"

On the Oaks winner. Winner of the Oaks. Dumbarse. Your just shitty that your love child Pike was runner up. But I have my theory on that race too.
I watched the Pinjarra Cup and watched Zarantz ridden completely different to the way it was ridden in the Bunbury Cup running second to the same horse. You cannot dispute that. The winner was ridden differently. You cannot dispute that. The steward elected to report on Glen Smiths ride. You cannot dispute that. Zarantz jockey is used by the Peters stable quite often. You can't dispute that.
My 2 cents, one can perceive a team riding outcome but only because Dark Alert won.
If another horse non related to the trainer won, i'm not sure this discussion would be happening.

Are you saying he fell off deliberately ?
If so he picked the wrong part of the race and he picked the wrong side of the horse to fall off.
Less chance of being hit by trailing horses when you are running last like he was for the majority of the race.
Sure you can find other dodgy examples though.
Leave Geraldton out though because we know that is a given.
I'm saying it didn't look good. He was back almost last-he's not going to look behind any more than he's going to deliberately run up the back of horse a la the notorious Astronomer incident. There was a wide open gap in front of him and he fell off and cited shifting his weight as the reason.
