Anyone back Three Eze?
West Australian Racing
Just catching up on some replays from today and heard Dmac mention that the winner of Foo Trouble race 3 was quite heavily backed. It got up by a nose, good on them.
If you'd backed the 2nd horse Three Eze you'd probably have been annoyed to have gone down in such a close photo. Now watch the replay and have a look how many times the rider of the winner smashed her horse before the 100m mark, blatantly give zero farks for the rule. Annoyed more now?
If ever there was a time the stewards should step in before declaring correct weight, this is a perfect storm - close finish and way way way outside the rules.
Stewards report will be interesting. Most likely a weak as pizz fine and maybe a short suspension at worst. Neither will matter to Altieri, probably gets more from the sling (remember it was heavily backed) and will prob miss something like 5 rides over the course of a week if she gets time.
