Some of our rules of racing need looking at.
Matt Cameron was late last week exonerated on a charge of - well, that's what this column is about - exactly what was he charged with?
When Cameron rode Mime into second at Ellerslie in January he'd hardly taken a breath after removing the saddle before stewards were all over him like flies at a beach picnic.
The following week he was charged with "failing to take all permissible measures to win the race or finish in the best possible position".
A decision had been made not to charge him with the more serious offence of "stopping" the horse, or in basic racing language "pulling it up". Or, in fact, is "failing to take all permissible measures" a lesser charge?
