Hwd Park Stewards

[Pedigree Ann]

I saw it, too, and cannot understand how the stewards could not DQ somebody for that start. A jump or two from the gate, some non-linear motion, a little bumping could be acceptable. But the 2 coming out and the 8 coming in did a lot more than that and caused an extremely dangerous situation. Riders should get days - if they don't, the stewards have abdicated their responsibility to look out for the jockeys' and horses' saftey.
