Big High + Massive Low

Last time i posted we had 5 runners to finish off the month, so on Tues 29th we made the usual trip to Hall Green.
Polar and Teddy ran, both finishing 4th, then the fun started.
Russ ran a blinder to win his fifth A1 in fine style, obviously we were delighted :)
Then 30 mins later Marvin lines up for a S3 race. We fancied our chances of a double especially as Marv had been flying of late.
Traps went up and he found himself in a good position, as the race unfolded we were getting quite excited as he was coming with his usually late charge. Just as Marv hits the front, for some unknown reason he decides to 'have a look' as he goes by. After the 'Interference' he comes home in 3rd beaten Shd, Shd.
Now after 96 races and never showing any tendancy to be Awkward EVER we were hoping that he may be given the benefit of the doubt and just be marked 'AWK' !!!!!!
The result of the race came over the tannoy and we heard the dreaded comments ''Trap 6 Shear Heaven has been Disqualified for Deliberate Interference''. We were distraught. Marvins career has been left in tatters and he may not run again :(
Discussions will be held over the coming days to see if he can race at HG again, but to be honest i think it will be highly unlikely :(
