Hi all This is my first post.  I backed Cavan Dancer, R5 Wyong today and thought it won convincingly by a length, but, protest upheld. JT on SKY said "head on is not available for viewing" so I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether the stewards were correct in their decision.

no one shadow of a doubt the protest should've been upheld. Would've taken them 1-2 mins at most to deliberate.
it hung in and stopped the 2nd horse completely dead in its tracks twice. As soon as the second horse got the clear running it went straight into second closing in on the winner.

In my opinion the rules should be that the first over the line should have been relegated, but as the rule stand no way should that have been upheld.

You were stiff Base, 99/100 times that would have been dismissed.
But that is what ya get with the rules as they stand.

Thanks fellas, at least I don't feel cheated - only light in the pocket.
With my luck if it rained film stars I would end up with Phillis Diller or possibly Rock Hudson!
I don't know how others feel but at the end of most days I usually feel stiff in the wrong places.
Even a movie rated as 4.5 by David Stratton and Margaret Pomerantz I feel unlucky after I've seen it!

I was on the Dancer as well and was convinced I was going to lose my cash.
It should have been upheld, especially if you compared it to the farce of the Villiers and takeover target

You people have gone all soft. If this had happened 18 months ago the stewards would not have left the course in one piece.
9/10 stewards panels in this country would have dismissed that objection.
