INTERVIEW PETER TOOLE THE LONG ROAD BACK

“RODNEY MASTERS speaks to the young jockey who is making good progress in rehabilitation following his Aintree horror fall, in the care of the Injured Jockeys’ Fund’s Oaksey House in Lambourn. PETER TOOLE laughs as he says he did not recoil in horror when viewing a replay of his pile-driver of a fall on Grand National Day, a first fence calamity that resulted in a head injury taking him perilously close to the boundaries of life.

NEWS  DAVID CARR “WORKFORCE  still the one to beat in Arc – Moore

"JOCKEY  due to see specialist today as he looks forward to big-race return - on the eve

of the check-up that could go along way towards deciding whether he will be able to join him in Paris on Sunday week, RYAN MOORE revealed he still has plenty of faith in WORKFORCE and reckons that no horse in the Qatar Prix de L’Arc de Triumphe has better form.

“The pair, who teamed up for a spectacular come-from-behind win in the Arc last year, have been out of the limelight in recent months, although WORKFORCE remains prominent in the betting , with many firms quoting him at 5-1 joint -or co-second favourite behind SARAFINA.”

J MARGARET CLARKE TURFCALL

THE RACING POST this morning brings us full circle back to the grass roots of horseracing. Autumn time, when all the yearlings find themselves starting a New Chapter in their lives, with so much to learn, and totally dependant upon the handler they are allocated to. Will their introductory handling stand them in good stead? Or otherwise? Does it matter?  The Racing Post’s filly to follow BORN TO RUN’S progress, from birth, is charted. The true story so far in the life and times of the yearling filly BORN TO RUN.

THE PRESENT REGULATION BLOODHORSE ILLITERATE VOID

NEGLIGENT regulation and disciplinary department within the British Horseracing Authority need to be separated completely away from every other department within this authority and to take with it all matters at present housed and carried out within Weatherby’s. (To be housed for the future in Newmarket)

Where is the BHA’S  Bloodhorse Literate Engine Room? The engine room where all matters relating to how the Rules of Racing are being interpreted and by whom, licensing standards, horsemanship standards, riding standards, learning standards, further education standards, further care and welfare standards really matter, so how is it that at present all are overlooked and ignored by this present authority? A negligent scandal of mega proportion, upsides the attitude of British government.   (To be housed for the future in Newmarket).

 

HOW MANY OF THESE HORROR FALLS effecting both the horses and their riders are due to the failed working practices (VOIDS)  long existing due to the failed working practices of horseracing's poor regulation standards.

THE SKILLS NEEDED TO PREPARE A YEARLING

THE KEY REASON FOR LONG-REINING

Considerable skill is needed to long rein a yearling this method has been honed and refined over centuries, by highly skilled horsemen, it is used so as the yearling can get used to having a bit in his mouth and can interpret the reason as guidance from a rider, when the time is right. Once a rider is introduced providing he is a good rider,  the yearling will respond to the rider’s guidance, as the rider take the bridle he can then guide the yearling on the bridle. Slow down or go faster whatever is required by the rider.

JOCK A MASTER CRAFTSMAN AT WORK

SORTING THE TWO LONG REINS OUT BEFORE HE STARTS

It can be noted here that this yearling is alert, but not frightened in any way, clearly trusting and understanding all that Jock shows about circling and turning, stopping and starting all done in the long-reins

Lunging a yearling does not mouth a yearling.

HORSERACING A UNIQUE AND REMARKABLE SPORT
