Good point about the notification to stewards. Maybe bob has a set of rules and everyone else has another

You're stuck on repeat @Detonator. You're dirty because you backed a $1.60 pop which was unders and was a risk at that. What transpired was always a chance of happening. It was predicted as early as Thursday on The One-one podcast interview with Simon Miller. Unfortunately for you the gamble didn't pay off. Just goes to show, just because they're odds-on doesn't make them a moral.

Some talk of people talking through there kick etc. I didn’t have a bet all day Sat so I’m not, just don’t like punter being shafted.
So what would I like. Some form of punishment for connections for not notifying stewards of their intention to have this horse up on the pace/making the pace, after all Pat has said those were his instructions. When you’ve got that many in a race it does make sense to have at least one race forward (not necessarily acting as a pace maker though) however when it is contrary to not only how this horse has been ridden previously but to how 99.99999% of Mr Peters horses are usually ridden it stands to reason you should notify the stewards of your intent to do something different before it stands out like dogs balls and you are left in this situation.
An explanation from Mr Carbery as to why he put the foot down when he did, he went for home and not even a couple of hundred metres later the horse was gone and it was still a bloody long way from home. It’s not Mr Carbery’s first rodeo, surely as a senior jockey he had to have known that his horse wasn’t going well enough to sustain a solid run to the line from the time he went for the horse, so why did he do it?
I’m all for daring tactics and people trying something different to win a race, I bloody miss dashing Dan all too often our jockeys look like statues.
But when visually you attack the leader who is the favourite of the race with a horse stepping up in trip who could have attempted to push through and lead at its last start but was restrained for cover then if that horse stops as quickly as it did with its 4 stable mates smoking the pipe at the back then you are going to have to answer some questions.
Imagine if that was one of Bobs in front and Mcauliffe had 5 in it that had never wanted to lead in their life and suddenly one of them was up eyeballing Bobs odds on Pop, they’d burn the place down!

If you really are from the Jockeysroom you would be happy with an owner rewarding the jockey for riding to instructions wouldn't you?

What next? Maybe vanilla essence really is an insect repellant?

Update: Bob Peters calls for new rule to stop growing trend of slow speed in WA races, as Patrick Carbery is cleared over his ride on Testing Love.
