What terrible news. Have lost too many friends the same way, just go to sleep and never wake up. Hard to get your head around such events and often seems no reason why it happens to those in the prime of their lives.
Sometimes it's just impossible to understand or believe these stories, even when they're true. With the amount of driving he's done at Addington and Alexandra Park over the past two summers, as well as Kaikoura and Methven, he was almost an honorary Kiwi. RIP Greg.
It is really hard to explain how these things work to some people.
It is also worth remembering that about 27% of the pool is taken out in various deductions. So as soon as the race starts the total pool available for payout is about 27% less than the original investment.
With the winner only paying just over $3 it meant many people were still alive. If you had only taken one horse in each leg for a dollar you would have tripled your money.
Interesting. Because it highlights another inconsistency that (I think it was you) brought up a few weeks back. Lily fined $400 more for whip use in consecutive strides than Mcnab gets for that ride. Stakes were mostly like for like. Doesnt seem right.
M McNab (ARDALIO) - Admitted a charge of careless riding in that he permitted his mount to shift outwards when not sufficiently clear of ALBAROSSA which was checked near the 150 metres. After considering submissions the Adjudicative Committee imposed a suspension of M McNab’s licence to ride in races from the conclusion of racing on Saturday 3 May up to and including racing on Wednesday 21 May, 10 national riding days and in addition imposed a fine of $750.
