Strange game ..... Strange rules .... Zero consistency
Double the limit prior to the 100m, including consecutive strides in a hard run 2200m race. Getting the horse home in the last couple of strides.
Many astute punters would take short odds that it changed the result of the race. $500 fine ....
The way this rule is policed and the consequences almost seem drawn out of a hat at times #TheGreatGame

@J_Walter23 Back to 1600m from 2000m with a trainer that likes to be on pace. Of course it was planned to jump and run and make it a tough 1600m slog. Rock hard fit for it and needed to be ridden like that to win. Credit where credit is due.
“6 again” is now just another layer of penalty … It was initially supposed to be given as a tackle restart, instead of stopping the game for a penalty … Now it’s more an additional layer of penalty for a minor indiscretion … In the majority of cases, fans (and players), have no idea why it was awarded … The majority of “6 agains” do not need to be given, and in the previous system, a penalty would not have been given … The fact that these 6 agains can accrue to produce a sin bin for supposedly repeated offenses, is indeed troublesome … A couple of “6 again” rulings in a row can completely change the momentum of a game … It can result in 12-18 tackle sets to the attacking team … Very hard to contain and takes a lot of energy out of the defending side …
Bulldogs ordinary and win
Dragons incredible and beaten
I tipped dogs
But wow dogs got every call every call and more and more
Dragons better than I thought they were going to be
