English term or phrase: claim of foul
Bonjour,

je traduis un texte parlant de courses hippiques. Lors d'une course, un cheval s'est retrouvé bloqué car deux autres chevaux (l'un allant vers l'intérieur, l'autre vers l'extérieur) lui ont bloqué le passage. À la fin de la course,
le jockey lésé en parle au juge pour disqualifier ses concurrents. Dans la phrase suivante, savez-vous comment traduire le terme "claim of foul" ?

"Ladies and gentlemen, please note that we have a rider's claim of foul."
"Sandita is laying claim of foul against both the winner and the runner-up."

porter plainte d'obstruction


Explanation:
I don't know it there's a technical term for this, but as far as generalities do, I think this could work, especially given the fact that the "foul" was to "bloquer le passage."

agree  FX Torrentz: I agree with "obstruction", however, I also agree with Jean-Louis S. regarding the technical term: « réclamation. »

Une autre suggestion


Example sentence(s):
  • <i> « <b>Réclamation</b> : plainte déposée par un jockey ou un entraîneur, à l'issue d'une compétition, sur le déroulement de la course, <b> pour gêne</b> ou irrégularité supposées […] </i>
  • <i> […] L'infraction la plus courante susceptible de donner lieu à réclamation et enquête est celle du cheval qui s'écarte intempestivement de sa ligne et coupe le passage aux autres.» </i>
