Can someone ask him when was the last time a protest was upheld because someone took someone else’s position in a race as a result of interference.
It happens all the time but protests are never ever ever upheld on that basis. They are decided on the level of interference and the winning margin.

Relegation rule is in play in NZ for interference only and works well.
Can someone tell me what Diego was doing at the start ???
That is ultimately is why what happened,, happened.
That sort of driving particularly in big races with certain stables having multiple runners has gone unchecked for too long.
Diego was there for one reason only at the start and I reckon some stables/drivers may have had enough.

Take out the fact it’s the halls who for whatever reason cop it for being successful,JJM was chopped in half because Aidan knew if he didn’t lead it couldn’t win,he also knew like we all do if you knock one over your just going to get time and not lose the race.I think this particular case where it’s blatant that you’ve just chopped the legs to get across is a perfect example for the relegation rule. Yep in the past other drivers have done it aswell but on the big stage for big money it was magnified.

Stable made it pretty clear before and after the race they want JJM in front.
I said stables not stable, so not just picking on Halls.

Don’t remember if he got time or not, if yes and he’s guilty of interference then yes why wouldn’t it be a case for relegation? If no and it was a racing incident then no it wouldn’t. Probably not that hard to figure out the difference
hocking, Bullys Delight wouldn’t have finished in front of the
(subsequently) first and second placed horses.”
describing Nicholson’s actions as “grievous violations of the rules and
were so far outside what is permitted in the conduct of harness racing
that they’d be viewed as an affront by a fair-minded person.”

You can only act on facts ie hocking and whip use outside of rules in the case of Tasmania race.
This race was contact of cart wheel to off foreleg resulting in the horse racing roughly and losing ground.
Mag Storm won running away by just under 12.7 mtrs. JJM had had enough and was going up and down in one spot despite having leaders back.
In other words any reasonable minded steward would conclude Mag Storm could have won it from outside JJM.
Not many win or run to their full potential after being knocked down like that, hard to regather momentum etc not to mention i presume it hurts so that possibly slows them down aswell

I also don’t agree that he clearly just wins outside it because 90% of my stable goes 10 lengths better on the rail and probably not just my stable most pacers in general

Mag Storm won by 13 mtrs, it would take a very good argument to overturn. Copping a check 2100 mtrs earlier isn’t enough to justify in my opinion.

Yeah I agree, happy to see Storm win it he deserved it he’s a top horse and for Ray to win it was great, just puts a slight dampener on it is all
