GRAHAM GREEN "DEFIANT CHAIRMAN ROY insists he will complete term at BHA.
"BHA chairman Paul Roy said yesterday that he intends to continue in the job for the remaining 15 months of his second term of office, dismissing speculation that he is preparing to throw in the towl.

"Roy remains a controversial (Bloodhorse Illiterate) figure, with the untimely introduction of the new (Bloodhorse Illiterate) whip rules five days before Champions Day the latest miscalculations on his watch, but while suspecting that a campaign is being conducted against him, he is adamant that quitting has not crossed his mind.

"There's absolutely no truth in any rumour that I'm standing down as chairman," he said. "I've got another 15 months to serve and it is certainly my intention to see it through to the end. I believe my board and racing's stakeholders also want me to serve out my term, and I've heard absolutely nothing to the contrary."

"The idea that Roy was planning to stand down after incoming BHA chief executive Paul Bittar takes up his duties in January has gathered momentum in recent weeks, with several recent critical press articles providing further grist for the rumour mill.

"Since Roy took on the chairman's role in 2007, racing twice backed the wrong runner in the Tote sale process, while it suffered defeat over the issue of whether the heaviest exchange users should be made to pay levy.

"The fixture list has been dogged by delays for the past two years, much to the chagrin of racing charities who depend on diary and calendar sales.
"Also, the departure of BHA head of communications Paul Struthers this month was widely interpreted as the BHA finding a scapegoat for the PR disaster surrounding its handling of the whip issue.

"Roy added: "I don't know, there is some kind of orchestrated stuff going on out there, but whatever the rumours are this is the first I have heard of them."

 "DOWNWARD SPIRAL, what can be done to tackle the dwindling number of runners in novice chases?"BHA considers radical cure for novice chasers' problem.
"BRUCE JACKSON  looks at the high number of small fields in novice chases'
and investigates what plans are afoot to tackle the issues.
"EVERYBODY from the BHA to bookmakers are agreed that something
needs to be done to overcome levy-damaging small fields in novice-chases
and it could soon be time for something radical."

J MARGARET CLARKE TURFCALL
Dangerous indeed for BHA bloodhorse illiterate people to attempt a 'radical cure'
on what they see to be 'novice chaser' shortage.

BHA need to seek the guidance of Group 1 status licensed jumps trainers' to name just a few here eg:

What stepping stones did Henrietta Knight choose in the early days with BEST MATE? And at present with SOTHERBY? Did she find it difficult to find suitable novice chase races?

What stepping stones did Paul Nicholls choose in the early days for KEATO STAR?

What stepping stones did Nicky Henderson choose in the early days for LONG RUN?

What stepping stones does Jonjo O'Neill choose in the early days for his novice chasers ?

What stepping stones does Ferdy Murphy choose in the early days for his novice chasers?

What novice chase races are available at present for all licensed jumps trainers of Group 1 status?'

What novice chases' do BHA provide at present for novice chasers' to ensure that these young horses have the chance to start out safely, and to gain the right kind of race experience .... 

"There will no longer be top chasers' if bloodhorse illiterate BHA authority are bent on taking what they term as 'radical cure' over novice chases.....

It wasn't long ago that Jonjo O'Neill and Paul Nicholls requested that the BHA remove a fence on a racecourse that was causing falls. How did the BHA respond to their request?  BHA ignored their plea.

JON LEES  "Struthers leaves BHA media void until 2012.
"The BHA will be without a head of communications until well into

2012 because of the need for incoming chief executive Paul Bittar

to be included in the process to decide who will replace Paul Struthers

who's sudden departure was announced last Friday.


"Struthers, who took on his latest role after the retirement of PR director

 Jon Ryan, appeared to have been made the scapegoat for the PR disaster

surrounding the BHA's handling of the new whip rules. His departure was

announced shortly after it is understood he had been informed that he no

longer enjoyed the confidence of BHA executive directors Jamie Stier,

Tim Morris, Paul Scotney and Ruth Quinn.

" It is vitally important the BHA has somebody who can help the organisation

speak to the media."



J MARGARET CLARKE TURFCALL
BITTAR he'll be 1-100 on then to be bloodhorse illiterate, the same as Nic Coward.

That is acceptable then is it to the powers that be at 75 High Holborn London?

Bittar to pick up the reins from where Nic Coward left off. But still no sign of

a bloodhorse literate whip review? How much longer is it going to take the BHA

to get around to consider that their  licensed riders' do have rights as well as

everyone else. Human rights, as do the horses. Looks like there is a need for the BHA to have

more than just one such person for this job - if it is to be done properly.

 HW "Only the framework of a tripartite arrangement that Coward left behind has been exposed publically. The BHA will be responsible for regulation and integrity and eliments of quality control.

J MARGARET CLARKE TURFCALL
NOTED over the last five decades the powers that be (JC) (BHB) and now the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) have all been weighted heavily against bloodhorse literacy by the bloodhorse illiterate. The grim shadows within these corridor's of power, their draconian attitude has spelled out loud and clear bloodhorse literacy is not to be recognised within British horseracing. Any and all who show signs of having achieved bloodhorse literacy to be severely punished.  


HW "The Racecourses Group will pick up commercial matters, including negotiation of the levy or its replacement.

JMC Racecourse Group need to start to pick up the pieces over their bloodhorse illiterate neglect. But will they deal with the safety issues on raceday's? Where within this racecourse group are there any top proven horsemen to handle things on raceday's? To ensure that the horses, their minders and their riders are safe, and have facilities in tune with their needs whilst on a racecourse?   


HW "The Horsemen's Group will look after horsemen's matters. If the devil is in the detail, a bag full of invisible horned creatures must be putting flesh on these bare bones.

JMC NOTED as stated there are eight people named on the Horseman's Group Board six of these are Bloodhorse Illiterate. There is only KEVIN DARLEY  of these eight who have achieved Bloodhorse Literacy at the highest level (Group 1) (World Wide)

J M C The imbalance here is obvious seven against one. Seven bloodhorse illiterate to one bloodhorse literate. How can this present Group said to be acting for the supposed Horsemen's Group ever carry out any work needed in this regard at all, if all bar one are bloodhorse illiterate?

What is the intended relationship between BHA regulation, licensing and disciplinary to the Horsemen's Group? Bloodhorse Literate? or Bloodhorse Illiterate? At present the BHA is being run by mainly bloodhorse illiterate people, as is the same within the Horsemen Group.
HW "Racecourse Association chief executive Stephen Atkin has been manfully juggling this ball, I'm told, while keeping two other spherical objects - the levy and the fixture list-in the air.

JMC  Stephen Atkin is another holding a key position for racecourses whilst being  bloodhorse illiterate himself. No minding as to key issues relating to racehorse safety issues and the general public. So scant chance of any understanding relating to their key ingredient the horses, their minders and their riders needs on raceday's here ......


HW "I'm reliably informed that elements of the HG have also been engaged in some head- scratching, while putting rather more effort into prize-money and tariffs.

JMC Head-scratching? Hardly surprising, how can seven bloodhorse illiterate men tackle any bloodhorse literate issues at all?



HW "It's time for racecourses and horsemen to apply some extra elbow grease and start polishing up their ideas, both individually and collectively, since constitutions have to be agreed for both parties.

JMC  Surely The Horseman's Group needs to be able to interact fully with the BHA regulation, licensing and disciplinary, and the racecourses on all bloodhorse literate issues. Of course this is impossible at present due to the fact that the Horseman's Group all bar Kevin Darley are bloodhorse illiterate.

HW "The RCA has the makings of an appropriate structure, but given  fair clout in a commercial environment to members who have previously acted within a trade association will not be easy.


HW "The HG has no such equivalent; its structure is probably written on one sheet of paper, with little provision for representation over such matters as electing officers. In theory the horsemen start with virtually a blank canvas, but who can command overall respect to persuade the collective to paint a proper picture?

JMC  The Horseman's Group make up as it stand at present can never function in any way over bloodhorse literate horsemanship issues. Who has been responsible for gathering together such an unsuitable number of bloodhorse illiterate people?



HW  "In theory the horsemen start with virtually a blank canvas, but who can command overall respect to persuade the collective to paint a proper picture?

JMC  KEVIN DARLEY needs to choose his own team of eight or more to properly secure a sound and an accurate bloodhorse literate horseman's group. For the direct purpose to enable, to interact fully between any and all other authorities, BHA RCA .....on all British horsemenship issues.


HW "Yet this is only half the story. The big test will emerge when the racecourses and the horsemen come to set down the relationship by which they will co-exist for the good of racing in general.

JMC  The Horsemen's Group need to be a Horseman's Group, a Bloodhorse Literate Horsemen's Group, of Group 1 status.


HW "Trusting is not a word that immediately comes to mind when seeking to describe relations so far, although evidence of a better spirit has been noted, as the horsemen steer away from the 'bully in the playground' style of the early days.

JMC  It can be seen in all walks of life when people or animals are abused and misunderstood the effect a downward spiral can kick in as a result.


HW "But trust will be needed if a sensible and successful negotiating balance is to be achieved between the partners."

JMC ( Group 1) Bloodhorse literacy has to be allowed to play its true part.

TOM O'RYAN reports on a Betfair Chase that will long be remembered.
"Haydock erupted just after 3.12pm yesterday. In scenes of jubilation and undiluted celebration among racegoers seldom witnessed outside of Cheltenham and Aintree, one of the greatest heavyweight chasers of this or any other generation was treated to the sort of emotional reception which stirs the heart, quickens the pulse and provides a sharp reminder of why battle-hardened stars of the jumping game command so much affection and admiration.

"KAUTO STAR may be in the autumn of his career, but he shone like a primetime performer when winning his fourth Betfair Chase, comprehensively turning the tables on LONG RUN, who had beaten him into third in last season's Cheltenham Gold Cup.  Cheered in the parade ring, cheered going down and cheered coming back, the ultra-popular 11-year- old jumped like a stag  for RUBY WALSH .... it was stirring stuff."

“BEFORE we had a chance to clear our throats to voice a view, one talking point theorising about Cheltenham Gold Cup winner LONG RUN’S level of match fitness for his return in today’s £200,000 Betfair Chase was emphatically thrown back in our faces by a posse of his stablemates.

“Of Nicky Henderson’s five winners spread across Ascot and Haydock yesterday, four were making their first appearance of the season. Up until recently, Henderson’s horses had been needing their initial run. Then, little more than three weeks ago, rain arrived in sufficient quantity across west Berkshire for his team to work for the first time this winter on his privately owned superb grass gallops alongside the Faringdon Road. That was instrumental in honing race fitness.
“Three of LONG RUN’S rivals in today’s showcase race have had the benefit of a lung-opener, with WEIRD AL and TIME FOR RUPERT  finishing first and second  in the Charlie Hall Chase last month, with PURE FAITH  - who can be backed at 100-1 – was second to ALBERTAS RUN  at Aintree four weeks ago ....

J.MARGARET CLARKE TURFCALL
BRITISH HORSERACING needs to move on, it has responsibilities on a world scale

with many other countries around the world now involved in horseracing themselves.

We can’t go on waffling along in a haze of bloodhorse illiterate bewilderment and confusion.


The very first thing that needs to happen is that all bloodhorse literate achievers

have to be accepted and recognised worldwide, all those who are now at present

working at the very top of their professions with proven skills at the highest level

KIEREN FALLON, CHRISTOPHE SOUMILLON, JOSEPH O’BRIEN and KEVEN DARLEY. SAME APPLICABLE TO TRAINER TEAM DEVELOPMENT

 PERSPECTIVE CONTEXT
The Rules of Racing worldwide need to be
Bloodhorse Literate Rules.

HORSES ARE GIVEN RATINGS, HORSEMEN SHOULD BE GIVEN RATINGS THE SAME 

STEP ONE
All those working within the British Horseracing Authority every single one need a rating bloodhorse illiterate, or bloodhorse literate.


'BLOODHORSE LITERATE CAREER STRUCTURE
Handler Riders, Conditional, Apprentice riders all need to have a rating as in career
progression steps. These steps need to be clearly defined, with financial reward for skills achieved.

TRAINERS need to make up their teams at home where all the prep work is done or should be done to prepare owners thoroughbreds for the racetrack. Trainers need to employ top horsemen as in handler riders to do this job otherwise the horses won’t be properly prepared at all, and will perform badly in a race, and make a jockey’s job far more difficult, far more dangerous to ride when asked to perform in a race.
