The Chairman.
Message from the Judge regarding Thursday’s nights result at Ward Hall.
Rule. 64.3 .The Judge may call upon the camera to help him arrive at a decision. He has five minutes to correct any error at the end of each trail.
The onus here is — What constitutes the END OF A TRAIL.
In this instance The Judge gave a decision without the aid of the camera. Immediately after the decision was given the camera was back in action. The Judge then reviewed the finish, decided his first decision might be incorrect . By this time most people had left the field, including the sole bookmaker ,the area Committee and promoting body.
As far as the Judge is concerned his main priority is to get the right result and if he is still on the field and still consulting the camera then it is not the END.!
The camera revealed ,in the Judges opinion, that Blueboy had prevailed by a small margin and the Judges opinion is final.
