Mumbai Objection

By Fido Dido | 26-Nov-2017
Dear Friends
I was totally shocked when the objection was upheld as I found it to be favouring the powerful Shroff stable. After due delebrations the stewards said that accidental and UPHELD. Whenever the word accidental is used it always OVERRULED, However these bunch of JOCKERS thought otherwise.

I feel very sorry the punters who had played the winner.

Interesting ! there are not enough outbursts against this upholding of the Objection.Because the favourite got the race.
But was the decision fair? No . They should have penalised the jockey and not the owner.

BRINGING THE HORSE IN TNE INNER RAILS AND MOVING FAST IS ALMOST A DANDEROUS ART.
AS ALL THE FRONT RUNNERS MOSTLY COME INSIDE NEARING THE WINNING POST,
I THINK AS ON TODAY S.JOHN IS A SPECIALIST IN BRINGING THE ANIMAL TO THE INNER RAILS AND MOVE. HE MOSTLY CATCHES UP THE RAILS SOON AFTER THE START AND POSITION IT AND MOVE ON. WATCH ALL HIS VIDEOS.

I CAN NAME A FEW RACES OPTIMUS PRIME AND ARCHIBALDO.

AS ON TODAY HE IS THE RAILING MASTER.

The whole episode started, because cambridge was lucky to be second by shd. That prompted Trevor to do chance pe dance. Had it been 3rd by shd, this episode would not have happen.

But i was happy, not for the result, but for the sweat seen on bookies face when the objection was upheld.

I think, that bookies had an advance information, that the horse will lose. So many bookies ate it beyond their capacities. The look on their face, after the objection was upheld was a sight to watch.

chanakya, we do not call class3 horse an ordinary horse and we are not discussing winning classic here. Sportyy- trying from Inner rails is always effective and advantage for a jockey. Remember Sir Hughes on Pronto pronto, Jaq and many more.
He recently got an opportunity to ride full time in Aus, you can imagine his potential. 4 wins a day is not a joke.

Definitely it was a biased judgement, upholding objection, Pl. remember Pune derby where Trevor won on Accolade, he crossed Vulcan sharply and dropped Kavraj Singh there was no objection because Vulcan ran last, but the stewards could have conducted an inquiry and disqualified Accolade for dangerous riding, Any how Mumbai stewards are a bunch of jokers don't expect fair decisions from them, and Trevor is overrated as compared to Suraj, John.

@ Tank(ed)

You said... "...And you even put Cambridge as your Days Best?

Ans: Refer what is the meaning of "LAY" in any dictionary? It does not mean "Day's Best". Learn racing terms first and then revert.

My reasons:
1. Check racing history/results, no owner or trainer score back to back double with ON-MONEY FAVOURITES. Statistics show 96 out of 100 races lost in the past.

2. In the first week of Mumbai racing, Dallas scored a double back to back. If time permits read my post race comments. Goldie's pet was 18/10 and Ruffina was 30 paise. I said if it was "VICE VERSA' that is first race 30 paise and second race is 18/10 rarely the connections go for a double. For a double the first race in a double should have the best odds than the second one.

3. On Sunday 4th race Castle Bridge was '15 paise' and Cambridge was 65/100 as per Indiarace.com. At race time it was 'money return' and 'Evens'. This type of double rarely happens.

4. In that sense, Cambridge has to lose the race. I am not talking about the merit of the horse whatsoever. It is pure betting/gambling strategy of the connections.

5. Lastly, the pattern of running strategy of favourites by certain trainers. I said I can give at least horses name, where the rider used same tactics of 'going thru the crowd along inner rails' for this particular trainer.

6. I still stick to my opinion, the win of Cambridge was a big blow to the LAY cutters.

7. I still stick to my opinion, the stewards verdict brought smiles to the betting public. Not to the trainer.

8. I want to say, Cambridge will drain you out in the next run. It has to. Please copy these comments and save it for another day to question me.

Guys

P.trevor is a seasoned Jockey and not a 10/12 year old kid who has to be reminded that -at the most important boil of the race he had a CHOICE to make...... whether to go from INSIDE railing of Star comrade or come from the outside and he choose the railing -where all know blockages /hampering are 70%

Now being a fav does not mean you are going to get FREE Passage coming from the railings to sail past ...whoever is in front can cut out /narrow /squeeze tht gap ..

Trevor himself has sooooo many times done the same but in the opposite direction --when a horse is moving up to challenge his mount - he has taken that horse out more wider and broke its stride ...tactics of jockeys ..

Point is even after the so called crowding there was a narrow gap for him to pass bottega louie but the horse did not have the strength so he planned this objection

Shutting the door on any horse coming from the railing behind is not a offendable foul for the front running horse & jock ..unless he has cut across severly ( dangerous riding ) or bumped the horse and broke its stride
In this case if u see the video from behind there is no touch from Bottega louie - infact trevors HORSE touched Bottega louie back hump & made sure he had a valid objection which had a very good summary to the stipes .


Poor CS Jodha - the vultures shud allow the trainer to come and talk on behalf of the jock ( who cant speak english ) - like trainer H-Antia did on 20th feb 2016 and explained the stipes how badly he had ridden Acer bilk the winner but the STEWARDS ( PUPPETS ) had their point of view decided already ....

HEADS I WIN -- TAILS U LOSE - New strategy of the Doggy brigade
Latest one will be HARD to digest - "Accidental but UPHELD "

Next time stipes SHUD give JOCKEY TREVOR A HORN /Bhopu so he can HONK loud and make sure he does not have a hampered passage being a fav in race.....

Cambridge is an ordinary horse. Can not win any classic or big race. All these hankerings are biased...

These, 'so called' judges - call them by any name - 'professional steward' or 'honorary steward'are more interested to remain in 'existence' rather than trying to be impartial...
Nothing wrong...

Saw it at home paying one days charges.

CS got caught in his own statement that his horse did not touch the fav ,when shown to him in the replay.

I n fact the stewards did not want to penalise CS hence used the term Accidental.

My bet came 4th so no interest but the decision wich all agreed was a correct one.

All can have their views but in the end of the day ,what matters is those in power.

One more has joined in not attending MUM.Does it matter

@ To all

I have a different view on this whole episode. Cambridge does not relish inner rails. Check Cambridge's last two wins from outside. Its debut run was forced thru the crowd and lost. Yesterday also opted same route and lost.

If you check Pesi's lost favourites in the past, most of them lost when the rider/s tried his way in between a heap of horses where is no sufficient room. Mostly the horses finished 3rd, 4th or 5th. In this case I think the trainer wanted to lose race. A three way finish would have not noticed it, but as expected Bunting charged very late, so there was no rush passing 100m, and whatever happened was easily visible to the naked eyes of the public.

When a hot favourite loses this way, normally the rider registers an objection to wash their hands before the racing public. In this case Stewards upheld the objection and this was never expected by the trainer or the rider because the winner BL was so superior on Sunday. Poor Chotu Jodha was unable to place his claims vividly before the stewards. That prompted the stewards to take an unusual decision to please the racing public and punish the erring professional wanted a negative result. They killed two birds in one stroke. They punished the lay cutters also in the process

If a trainer uses this tactics season after season to tank a race, he has to be taught a lesson. I am happy the stewards punished the erring professionals and made a loser to win the race thereby satisfying the racegoers.

Thank you stewards you have done an unusual thing and sent shivers to some people in the process.

He rode adequately straight ????
Thats what C.S.Jodha stated to Stewards and after viewing they uphold the objection as feel Sorry if one cant c or understand the meaning of Straight ????? Yeah the videoz r there for all to Watch and C if its adequately straight for themselves . The Bookies lost heavy yesterday on Public fancy as well Today and just expressing frustration by means of free blog but Yeh joh Public hai Sab Janti hai ki that If the objection would have been overruled ,these same guys would have posted contradictory just to b in the limelight but without any contribution towards Free cheers . To my utter Surprise One Guy gave Bottle then changed to Spiridon (which was refuted with reason in closet) ,now giving justification on Bottle and commenting other as After the Race (Lies as ever)???????? Isnt it funny ??? Bhai kabhi toh Desh ka preamble "Satyamave Jayate" ko Maan do as kya leke Aaya aur kya leke jaoge ???????? .Reminds me of a song "Sajan re jhoot mat bolo ...Khudake paas jana hai ...Na haathi na Ghoda vaha toh Paidal jana hai ".

QUESTION HERE IS

Accidental and Upheld.

Accidental means non intentional and the same should have gone in favour of Jodha.

Whereas P.Trevor used his mind as Bottega louie went by length he did not make effort to show that he stopped riding and lost certain Race.

Actually if Stewards wants to give result as upheld than they should not have use word "ACCIDENTAL".

Tank said ...

P G said ...

27-Nov-2017
Absolutely right Tank.

Hampering and blocking CAMBRIDGE's run from inner rails and next whipping with wrong hand further blocking CAMBRIDGE's passage is not right. C S Jodha is not an apprentice nor a novice, he is well a senior jockey, and for him to ride in this manner is totally wrong.

Sanjay said ...

27-Nov-2017
I was a beneficiary of the stewards' decision to uphold the objection & still feel very LUCKY to get my money at evens, which was otherwise lost. But ACSiDENTAL & UPHELD is a new line to learn in the RWITC. These 3 Ill knowledgeable poor stewards should not be allowed to chair objections when they DONT know how to read a race. Goading the jockey and manner of conducting the meeting clearly showed the result was predecided and the time taken was all a sham. Mr. JN & GV are no better. They have become stewards by default and the voting public should be educated to show them that their unintelligent candidates know nothing about racing. These people are the DEATH for the Rwitc.

Tank said ...

27-Nov-2017
Let's go back just a little, about month and a half back on Oct8 RN158, 8. BOTTEGA LOUIE- 11/10 was fav. assigned to NSParmar? (His all other mounts were super longer odds that day..why on BL:)) My bet was each way Lady Ser. that day and I knew this is a false fav. BL lost to Flag Flying, SPARKLING EYES that day. Both are beaten by Cambridge and practically no match. Another example, In R77(Aug). BL was about 3 L better that ETERNALINSPIRATION wherein Cambridge has beaten ETERNALINSPIRATION for over 6 L and totally no match.

Cambridge was right fav yesterday and totally better in that bunch and everyone new this. However I played EW Bunting yesterday, another good horse from Shirke's clocked almost 13s in 4PNR. Twice winner beating Take Five, HOPEILICIOUS. HOPEILICIOUS??

Back to current Objection- All I think is that if as a experience jockey knows that the fav will come from behind to challenge, he should not try and hamper the run by whipping from wrong side or block the way. If its a race it should be fair and clear. It doesn;t matter if they speak urdu or sanskrit. We are watching them very closely from possibly all the angels. You do not have to watch race replay 20 times, just read the facts, watch it once and you would know the winner.

This was a shocking decision by the stewards at RWITC.

Trevor Patel is the top jockey in India, and after repeated viewing of the race, it was evidently clear that the one to err was Trevor. He was taking a risk, trying to squeeze through a very narrow gap.

Though CS Jodha did not change his whiphand, he rode adequately straight after taking the lead and did not lean on to Cambridge.

Trevor was extremely articulate in the steward's room while CS Jodha was found wanting to explain that he did no wrong. The stewards are expected to be fair to the what was on view, not award the race could could tell them a concocted story painting himself the wronged.

In cricket they say, the benefit of the doubt goes to the batsman. In racing, unless there is clinching evidence of wrongdoing, the winner keeps the race

@ Pradeep

The stewards have still to learn basics over GREED & Dumbness..

20TH Feb 2016 one instance
TREVOR favourite horse [Acer Bilk] Race 202 ...cut in sharply from an outside draw and came inn bumping [Desert Lily] dangerously who bumped Antias horse [Big Bro] -Trevor bulldozed the horse with absolute disregard ...to get himself in position ..DANGEROUS RIDING
Point is he shifted in before the RED MARKER [which is a norm] not to cut across at the starting point .
STEWARDS shud consider seeing formula one racing [if they know a sport like that exists]they can upgrade and educate
Cars coming out of the Pit lane cutting across even a small cut or big cut crossing... results in a 10-12 second pit stop penalty or OUT OF RACE suspension ...Stewards Here they dont discuss why it happened -Basic norms are followed -unfortunately here maal was on favs so they discounted the fact -Red marker rule and overuled the objection lodged by Antia himself in front of them
See the video yourself -
www.indiarace.com/VideoFiles/MUMBAI/2016/Feb20/202.mp4

Worst is they[stewards] contradicted themselves in the very next where FAV was involved and showed why we punters are at a loss of understanding their NON LOGICAL decision -which are not even standardised...
Exelonce took out Another Ace - which was worst than B52 taking Khayyum

See the video yourself again
www.indiarace.com/VideoFiles/MUMBAI/2016/Feb20/203.mp4

WHERE DOES THE STUPIDNESS END???

MORAL OF THE STORY -BHANGEESS will contradict themself to suit their style of gambling and make the horse win where they profit the most ..
As Red marker is a rule not to be broken then what is the point of overule it when it was broken -same way if CS Jodha made an accidental mistake how can you duffers make it UPHELD

Absolute numb beggars

1) in the on-going happenings of the objection one person on the chair requested for the back view replay. it was played for one time and clearly seen that bottega had not touched cambridge at any stage.
2) suddenly that person who was seated says, that this view will not help and front will help them better.
3) the officials there are supposed to be neutral and un-biased towards the horses , trainers, owners, jockeys ......while taking decisions.
4) it looked like the decision was pre decided, since the verdict was 1.75 lengths clear and not the likes of neck, short head etc.etc.
5) ever so often the same trevor will do worse than what cs jodha has done.........case in point was when accolade won the pune derby. all can check this out in the race replay, where the jockey of vulcan fell down.compared to the cambridge and bottega saga.......trevor should have been suspended for dangerous riding and accolade disqualified. but as the adage goes "maal hai toh taal hai...warna tu kangaaal hai"
6) the likes of cs jodha etc who have issues with the english language should be permitted to bring in the trainer to speak on their behalf.
7) my wife who has nothing to do with racing except probably enjoying the odd sandwich or puff pastry when i go to the race course....made a comment while seeing the proceedings of the objection with me on my computer at home, "what a presentation in good english the first jockey made....aur woh dusrey ko baat nahin karney aa rahi hai bechara....that is why the second fellow got the punished no ?"
8) just imagine the sad state of affairs in the racing world......one which we all love so much........but alas !!!!

Though the decision of "UPHELD" looks to many as frivilous, without reasonable merit,shocking etc etc, one should see the video few times and see for themselves.

At final 200 mtrs mark, BOTTEGA LOUIE (C S Jodha up), though a neck ahead of CAMBRIDGE (inner rails), moved towards the rails, thereby blocking passage to Cambridge. Trevor had to check his mount, thereby controlling and slowing the horses acceleration. A few metres further, Jodha used his whip with his Left
hand, instead of his Right hand, which was basically the wrong way of whipping to do, thereby his horse again went towards the rails a little, again slightly blocking Trevor's horse.

Hence, Trevor not only had to check his horse while being blocked,but also had to come from the round-about outerside.

Once checked, CAMBRIDGE lost it's stride and acceleration and could not recover it's rhtym.

Certainly, BOTTEGA LOUIE not only blocked CAMBRIDGE's way, but also for wrong whipping practice, again closed CAMBRIDGE's passage from inner-rails.

Dear All,
I was a beneficiary of the stewards' decision to uphold the objection & still feel very LUCKY to get my money at evens, which was otherwise lost.
Maybe after two years justice is done as then I had played B52 at odds of 4.5:1 & funnily the race was gifted to Khayyam.(I had written here that time too).
The stewards may have won the hearts of thousands of punters but this is setting up a DIRTY habit to crowd darling P.Trevor. It's not just the B 52 decision but he made the same mistake at Bangalore & fell down. At Pune Derby, he brought down VULCAN. Now yesterday when he somehow saved second spot ahead of BUNTING, I was sure of an objection & the outcome.
An OVER RATED rider like P.Trevor supported by stewards all over is a shame to Indian racing along with ones( inclg. the stewards) who support him as good rider.
I was LUCKY yesterday but NOT HAPPY.

i had a good bet on cambridge
and after seeing the replay i wote in my account -3000
i was surprised and elated when it was upheld
i think they had made up their mind to confuse cs jodha and make it look that trevor is right... trevor seldom goes a bit wide if he is leading to make sure no one catches him which i find it fair in racing
trevor once he knew he is beaten he didnt try much and would have lost the secongd place too
i have no doubt that cambridge will go further than BL BUT this objection was frivilous ....and i didnt understand when they said accidental but upheld.... now this race video should be sent to UK to find out what would the steward there would decide

im against people who say they are bunch of jokers but this time i think they are justified insaying it...

the person who was heading the hearing .... looked a novice

now i believe completely that you need luck to win at the mumbai race course

*RWITC coins new phrase: "Accidental, and upheld"*

Prakash Gosavi
gosavi@mid-day.com

Nothing seems to be going right for the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) Ltd. The race club which finds itself on the threshold of bankruptcy is also being roundly criticized by racegoers for framing a Sunday card that certainly lacked in both quality and quantity. Three of the seven races featured only five runners each, and one more had only 6 runners. 

As if this wasn't enough already, a controversial decision coming from the stewards' room, when dealing with what looked like an objection without reasonable merit, brought the prestige of the club some more notches down on Sunday. It wasn't what most considered a bad verdict that raised the eyebrows, but the logic offered as reason for the decision--which plainly meant the interference was "accidental", and (therefore) the objection was "upheld". 

*The objection*

Bottega Louie, trained by SK Sunderji and ridden by CS Jodha, had decisively won the Stylecracker Classic, beating favourite Cambridge (P Trevor up). However, Trevor, who tried to force his way on the inside without success, objected against the winner. The rewind of the film made it cyrstal clear that CS Jodha had not caused the kind of interference that would have reversed the length-and-three-quarters verdict, but the stewards, guided by a unanimous recommendation from stipendiary stewards, decided to uphold the objection and reverse the order of placings. 

Shocking as the decision was, it was seen as ludicrous by the majority when they announced the description of the alleged interference as "accidental", forgetting that only interference caused by careless, reckless or foul riding can be punished, the accidental interference ought to be condoned as per the principle of natural justice.

*Unprecedented*

"Never ever heard this before," Raj M, a veteran race lover who has been racing for exactly 51 years (his own words), told mid-day, "accidental--and upheld? Now, what does that mean?" 

But of course, one may argue Raj M was talking through his pocket, because he quickly added, "My horse (winner) did not even touch him; this has cost me a packet." 

But surprisingly, many who backed Cambridge also agreed they were lucky to collect. "There was no merit in the objection," G Bhaskaran, who watched the race as well as the slow motion replays on a CCTV, told mid-day, "it should have been overruled."

*Within the rules, says stipe*

When mid-day contacted chief stipendiary steward of the club, Shujat Hussain, he  first defended the decision by saying that it was "within the rules". However, when mid-day asked him to explain the phrase "accidental and upheld", and inquired if he had ever heard it being used before, he added, "I will need to consult the records, and it can only be done tomorrow as the office is closed now."

The Stewards were pressurising CS Jodha to agree that he did not keep a straight course and obstructed CAMBRIDGE. While the luck of the race was cetainly with Bottlega Loui, there was no case for the objection to be upheld. The whole enquiry proceedings were done in a preconceived ,suspiscious manner.

Sportyy said ...

27-Nov-2017
Trevor is going to use this ploy ALWAYS since his objection of KHAYYUM got upheld against B52 .
NOW whenever the runaway horse will be winner ,he will do the same and act he got checked on the railing and hand in glove stewards of the trainer are gonna support him blindly ..

if this was favourite horse in the offing ..stewards would have dismissed it for overule inside 3 mins

Mistake also lies with the jockey who failed to speak clearly
Most of the indian jockeys before entering the stewards room for objections dont plan their words & just walk in to face the music which makes it easy for the JOKERS (stipes)

Also jockeys love to block and go for the railing ( i have no idea who taught them this) C S Jodha just needed to keep a straight path instead of crowding & coming in ...there was just a minor touch on the back hump of his horse with the fav which was enough for Trevor to cry baby and ask for reprieve and according to me trevor shifted out & bumped the winner

Sandesh made the same mistake in B52 when he intentionally closed the door without any touch on Khayyum who was behind on the railing and now CS Jodha repeated the same mistake on trying to close the door - OLD HABITS will die hard but the punters have to face the consequences

Both THESE OBJECTIONS any part of the world would have been overuled 99.9% ONLY MADE IN INDIA with stupid dog licking /limping stipes & stewards @ RWITC would have had this upheld in favour of the powerful trainer and THEY JUST DID THT ....

I couldn’t quite pick between Cambridge & BL, so I just left the race from a gambling perspective & was quite happy to watch the race. Heart of hearts I was expecting a good run from BL, but at the same time Cambridge’s Pune victory which seemed impossible at one time, was also indicative of the fact that there was much more to come from him.

However post the race I was quite surprised when an objection was raised & was equally surprised when it was upheld. I thought that BL ran straight as an arrow & Cambridge was beaten fair and square. Of course, I saw the race at an off course center outside Mumbai. Could those of you who saw it live iat Mahalaxmi share your thoughts and let me know what you make of the whole episode.

Thank you.
