You could easily say Nass that when stewards take the race away from you with a wrong decision because one jockey was more articulate and forceful than the other and they didn't apply the rules correctly, or consistently, "it shows everything that is wrong with racing". Thank goodness there is an appeal system for when they get it wrong. This isn't the only sport where decisions go to appeal. Where would we be without an appeal system? It would open up the possibility of corrupt/incompetent decision making with no recourse for the victim.

Here, here Ron.

I didn't bet on the race and have only viewed it twice but for me it was a ridiculous decision in the first place to have awarded the race to BB. I did manage to read the transcript of what was said and to quote another forum member "...CO'D wiped his arse with Atzeni in the stewards room..."

It's good to see common sense prevail and the appeal panel have the courage to overturn the original decision.

The lads were represented by a QC too Nass called John Kelsey - Fry. They both had similar representatives arguing their sides for the hearing so it was an even fight.

Unlike the one in the stewards' room
 
Nice to see some good healthy debate.

WTF happened to Barcelona today - did they put out the Barnsley team by mistake?

No, QPR, it is rumoured that they were vacationing in the area......................

(As a (very) long-time fan, I feel entitled to the occasional traitorous remark! <laugh>).
