I think it was for interference in the closing stages, but I never saw the head-on. Thank f@@k I don't punt, I made Smanyo a good bet at that price.

I had already made a withdrawal only to have my acc reflect negative numbers - feel a bit robbed but such is the game and we fight on

Well I did not see the head-on, but certainly did not notice anything during the race itself - the other day at the Vaal a horse CLEARLY takes up another horse's running in the last 200 (reported in the Stipes Report) AND bumps it nearly off its feet in the last 20 metres, but the objection is over-ruled; THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY!

Well done Loopy on the PA; I again missed it with Officer Class, who - you guessed it - ran 4th:(

@ Loopy, Thank you, lost a lot of money today, BUT, YOUR PA saved me!

Frodo, I never had dagmar in the last.... but I did have 1 in my P6.

sadly I went out with VALLEY of rubies ONLY....... I'd rather be out by 2 legs than 1.
my shock to see 1 had won the last, but there was a lot of interference in last 50m. QUI DUEL got the worst of it i think..... they did show head on a few times.

Hard luck Elvis - I also did not fancy Valley of Rubies who cost me the JP; regarding the objection, as I said I did not see the replays/head-on, so I guess I can't really have an opinion - perhaps it was warranted after all.
