It starts from a legitimate concern — and ends with proposals that risk doing the opposite of what they claim.

“The @bhastewards @epsomracecourse decided Benvenuto Cellini, the 3-1 Derby favourite, did not have a fair start.

“He did, of course, have a fair start.

“He just messed it up by having a hindleg on a shelf in the stalls.

“Silly boy. But it happens. People mess up. Horses mess up. And stewards mess up.

They did here.”

🏇🙏

Chris Cook absolutely nails it.

"With the sport's health in mind, I think it would have been wiser to establish the principle that horses can do unexpected and unhelpful things which undermine their chances, and that punters should bear that in mind when placing their bets"

Tony did a lot of great work for our club.

But never forget he signed off on the sale of David Raya for £3m

@OC Try the @England_Pod guys. Like listening to a chat with your mates in the pub

[Simon Clare @SiClare]

Why is the BHA doubling down on this shocking decision and claiming it's in the interests of the punter

Nobody expected or thought Benvenuto Cellini should be a non runner yesterday

Punters who were hit by Rule 4 deductions are furious about this. Bookies are furious about this

[James @jamesaknight]

This was a v expensive call - BC is likely the most backed horse of the flat season so far - but I think it’s the right one. Racing stakes have been struggling recently and punishing winners for this complete non incident would likely see more people walk away from the game

[Simon Clare @SiClare]

It's only the favourite, and the biggest betting race of the flat season 🤷🏼‍♂️

Applying a rule 4 would be an awful blow to backers of the winner!

So @Ladbrokes and @Coral are waiving it and will carry the cost. All a bit grim like the weather.
