Sharpen your claws Chicken. We going to skin the bookies alive on Monday. !!!!

An interesting Stipes decision on an objection lodged by Brett Crawford, trainer of the second horse, brought the curtain down on the Durbanville Wednesday meeting, which clawed its way through the afternoon under grey skies.
We were just singing the praises of the improved confidence shown by young Grant Van Niekerk, who has been booting the winners home with regularity in the past few weeks.

But Van Niekerk was once again involved in a bumping match in the eighth race, where his mount Chinkapin carried Corne Orffer and Destiny Duchess out at least six horse widths, before bumping them repeatedly. Orffer was frankly fortunate to stay in the saddle, and it was no surprise to see Brett Crawford march into the Stipes room and the hooter sounded.

The objection was overruled – a real surprise given the repeated interference, the blatant carrying out and the eventual winning margin of only a half length. Van Niekerk got one of his regular involuntary short holidays.

Joey Ramsden Joey Ramsden – one of those days
Joey Ramsden went to races probably expecting a decent day but came away a frustrating four hours later with a handful of second cheques and a disappointing effort by his R6 million yearling, Silver Coin.

The son of Silvano looked well in as he lined up in the MR 80 Handicap over 1200m, but he was always near the rear and hardly improved to finish out of the money and 4 lengths off impressive late dash winner, Bobby Dazzler.

In the previous race, Ramsden had to watch his odds-on favourite Talk Of The Town go down a head to Doublemint. Talk Of The Town is a big horse and should be better at Kenilworth – but Bernard Fayd’herbe deserves all the credit for getting Doublemint home.

Joey had to settle for second cheque again in the sixth where his consistent old boy Juddering Angel found the enthusiastic Silver De Lange too much to handle.

The objection in the last race?
Watched the head on twice and could not believe the winner kept the race
Spoke to 2 trainers and 2 jocks this morning All were of the same opinion
Are we all stupid or is the rule wrong

The objection was overruled but jockey going to get a holiday - does not make sense

There are two decisions to be made
1. Was there interference?
2. If there was interference, then Would the result have been different if the interference had not occurred?
The jockey will get penalized if the answer to 1 is Yes. The objection will be upheld if the answer to 2 is Yes.
It is thus quite possible for the jockey to get penalised even if the answer to 2 is No.
