All runners it looked took the wrong course in the 1425 at Ascot when by passing the fence they went onto the hurdle course rather than around the fence and back on the chase course.
Will it be voided as there would technically be no finishers?
Hope not as had a good green on it.

Result stood despite the error, one jockey clearly knew he was going the wrong way and was trying to get back on course but was boxed in by the other runners, it would have been interesting if he had got out and gone the correct way as surely they would have had to DQ the runners that went the wrong way. Overall common sense prevailed but they should have all been DQ'd and banned.PDC wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 2:38 pmAll runners it looked took the wrong course in the 1425 at Ascot when by passing the fence they went onto the hurdle course rather than around the fence and back on the chase course.

That's a shame, as I said earlier on the thread, I am really enjoying it, one of my best Saturdays for a good while. Though going off past posts we seem to enjoy the opposite spectrum of races so not surprised we are having very different days.
Already into the final hour of the afternoon racing

Derek is just a slacker

I skipped last nights evening racing and BC to get to bed early and missed the first bit of the Oz racing due to the big gaps between races, so had a full nights sleep before doing the Oz racing and then topped up with another 4 hours this morning after the Oz session so fully refreshed for the day.
Given the number of shopping bags that the better half has just come in with I think I should have traded last nights BC as well
