Strange priorities

Here are some stats that your readers may find interesting. Of his last 50 runners (including trials), one Victorian country trainer has had 24 lasts and a further 17 runners who have beaten one home. In most cases the losing margins have been large.

Perhaps RVL stewards and their vets should put more time and emphasis on monitoring the satisfactory presentation of horses at the races accross the board, rather than on questioning the judgment and integrity of people such as David Hayes (Changingoftheguard) and those in the jumps fraternity.
