This happened on 1 August 1999. Our horse Lawman was 3rd in the running, but was promoted to 2nd after Flaming Gun was disqualified! This was the day that punters stood up for themselves, together!!

I was at the track that day. Also unpleasant scenes outside the stewards room.

Good memories.

This was not the only incident of its kind at Gosforth /the day a winner lost a race on objection for causing interference to a horse that finished unplaced- crowd also caused abandonment and went someway to the "new" objection rules!

I was on course that day - the punters stood their ground in their numbers and blocked the stewards rooms
