National Start

[Win2Win]

:splapme Not again.....the world watches and they can't even start the race :ermmm

They let horses go with 30 lengths between them during the week ...... it's 4.5 miles for God's sake......

Use stalls if they want to be so exact with pumped up horses.

Listening on radio its frustrating " i wont let you go until tape is up" just get on with it man

Same starter as last year....done the same thing......anyone notice a trend with the muppet? :doh

I thought he was right to stick to his guns and call them back. The jockey's just weren't listening! And the start was pretty even (apart from some of the horses already having run a mile before the official start :pk1 )

Shut Up! :D

But the point is they do not do this in the other 99.99% of NH starts during the year. They just do it in the race watched live across the world, showcasing our sport! :splapme

A race the other day went off at Uttoxeter with 2 horse not facing the front, no false start. :ermmm

Didn't the same starter order the withdrawal of Doctor David in the second race, much to the annoyance of jockey Andrew Thornton?
