I’m on the side of the Naas stewards on this one!

At Naas on Monday, following a six-furlongs handicap, the stewards were called into action after the 11-4 favourite, Captain Power, had beaten 5-1 shot, Dark Alliance, by a short head.

When the stewards had completed their deliberations the decision arrived at was to reverse the placings much to the chagrin, you suspect, of the majority of punters.

I think it is fair to say that the majority of observers in actual fact, whether they had a wager in the contest or not, probably assumed there would be no alteration to the placings.
