@AtTheRaces@LeonnaMayor@LukeElderTV Absolutely spot on both. Disgraceful. Surely the trainer has to be made accountable also? It was clearly a set-plan to upset/ rough-up Bow Echo.
How team tactics work, with a quick glance to locate Gstaad (already agreement he will take the inside path) and then the deliberate shoving by Soumillon of Power Blue.
So if you backed those two, you wasted your money
Not noticed by Stewards was the start, where Gstaad and Puerto Rico (last) nicely squeeze Bow Ecclho out
It's a plan. And it's been going on, unchecked, for years.
If you're going to punish Byrnes for breaking the rules, you should be properly punishing O Brien for such tactics
