Title: Chris long rip job race 2
Post by: MCR on November 11, 2024, 02:04:56 PM
What a stiff job to be second. I love the fake whipping in the stretch.  If I was a judge that would be a 30 day suspension

The previous start stretch drive:

The less than stellar effort stretch drive:

Certainly completely inconsistent, and merit an inquiry.  Oh, but this is harness racing, that is not likely.

He has been doing this for the last few years.  Totally obvious no try.

Call the judges and get on their ass. Let us know how they react.

No sour grapes. I have no skin in the game.

Definitely looked suspect.  Based on the odds and payouts, was it even worth it if that was the case.  Big risk for a very minimal gain.  Unless it was  class saving move.

My assumption would be to stay in the class. But either way it just looked awful.

If the judge fine drivers for excessive whipping, interference, and going inside pylons, why are they letting this driver break the rules as you all say he is doing? Is it hard to prove what he may be doing wrong? I've seen 30-day lack of effort penalties given out to others

Horse doesn't win often hard to say.  Would be a good spot to do it with a horse like that but appears to be honest

chris got a 30 day lack of effort at fryeburg years back in a race that looked awful.
