...bring and come....<

Gone , is that better ?

Do you know the answer or just being a tit ?

The horse has entered the stalls and refused to race the last twice , what's wrong with wanting to know how the stall tests have gone ?

Last time he just turned left after the jump (drawn 1 so no problems to the other horses ). What happens if he does it in this race and f%$ up half the field ? Who is then responsible if there are serious problems ? He is drawn in the middle 6

Surely the horses starting stall certificate has been revoked And the trainer would get the horse schooled again?

Dean Kannemeyer will attempt to win his second Grade 1 of the Cape Summer Of Champions season at Kenilworth on Saturday where he has two runners, Divine Jet and Cape Royal, in the weight for age Betting World Cape Flying Championship over 1 000m.
Divine Jet disappointed when fourth in the weight for age Grade 2 Diadem Stakes over 1 200m at Kenilworth on December 28, but the race didn’t pan out well for him as he was unable to find the cover he needed.
In his next start two weeks ago in a Pinnacle event over 1000m at Kenilworth, the five-year-old Jet Master entire was slowly away and also lost some ground tacking over to the favourable outside going, so did well to finish a 1,25 length second to Barbosa, with whom he will be 4,5kg better off on Saturday.
The draw advantage on the Kenilworth straight course can change from meeting to meeting, but the high draws have been favourable in the last couple of meetings and he has drawn ten.
Karl Neisius is the only jockey to have race-ridden Divine Jet in his 12 event career and is aboard again. Kannemeyer said, “If he didn’t have issues both Karl and I believe he would have been a Group 1 winner by now. His issues are under control at the moment and he is doing very well.”
Kannemeyer added that missing the break had not been in Divine Jet’s favour last time and hoped the starter would put him in last this time. Cape Royal has gained infamy for refusing to participate in his last two starts by turning at a 90 degree angle to his left as he jumps. The four-year-old Royal Academy gelding was sent for a holiday on the farm after his last “start” back in June at Clairwood and has been re-schooled since returning to Milnerton. However, as Kannemeyer confirms, only the race will tell whether the schooling has changed the horse’s mindset.
Another high profile horse that had learnt a similar trick was the Charles Laird-trained Dan De Lago, who was fancied for the J&B Met in 2010. This horse refused to jump to in each of his last three starts, despite every measure taken to cure him of the antic.
Kannemeyer said that Cape Royal would be retired if he refused to race on Saturday. However, he added, “He won’t need the run as I have put a lot of work into him. He is a top horse and all is well with him.”
Cape Royal is the highest rated horse in the field on 111, but it would be questionable whether he deserves it as his only stakes win has been of a Listed event.
Kannemeyer concluded by saying it would be a “helluva tough race”, but he believed that if his charges could put their “best foot forward” they would both be major runners. Kannemeyer already has one of the big ones of the Cape summer under his belt, the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate, which he won with Capetown Noir.

I can't think of one intractable horse which has had successful re-schooling. Will draw a line through him.
Caveat: Muscatt & Via Africa are drawn 4 & 5 respectively!!
