SDG won on good ground last year so GM is talking out of his a*se I'm afraid.
In his post race chat with Lydia on RUK he was quite critical of the ground, basically saying that they havent got it right for the best race meeting of the year. Ive never thought of GM as being a bad sport so he must be really unhappy about something. Re the photographer incident, didnt something similar happen last year/year before? Maybe they should start restricting where these guys are positioned. Im surprised given how 'elf & safety everyone is these days that they are allowed to be so close, those barriers are designed to break if a horse touches them after all so dont offer any protection if you are stood right next to them
Yes..was it kauto Stone at Aintree??
There was an incident at Cheltenham last year where Darryl Jacob's horse spooked, went through the rails, and dumped him on a patch of concrete populated by several photographers.
Yes but that was more a freak incident, this was right near a fence.There was an incident at Cheltenham last year where Darryl Jacob's horse spooked, went through the rails, and dumped him on a patch of concrete populated by several photographers.
Telegraph reporting via PA Sport that Garry Moore has been critical of the ground given Sire Du Grugy's run
He wasnt allowed to wear his special plastic shoes either, tbf to the ground staff rain was forecast for today and they know if they have the ground too fast they lose more horses.
special plastic shoes??
