THE MONDAY JURY DELIVER THEIR EXPERT AINTREE VERDICTS
RP SUNDAY APRIL 15th 2012
DAVID CARR
"A SHADOW was cast over Aintree yesterday as Cheltenham Gold Cup winner SYNCHRONISED bid to complete a historic double ended in tragedy as he was put down after breaking a leg.
"ACCORDING TO PETE also lost his life as the world's most famous chase was marred by two fatalities for the second year in a row.
"The BHA pledged to examine the circumstances surrounding the deaths and along with Aintree insisted the safety of horses was their priority.
"However, while RSPCA equine consultant David Muir maintained his organisation did not want to ban the race he said they could not support it unless further changes were made.

PAUL BITTAR BRITISH HORSERACING GOVERNMENT (BHA) CALLS FOR PATIENCE OVER NATIONAL CHANGES
"BHA chief executive Paul Bittar said on Sunday that changes made to the Grand National course and race conditions should be judged over a period of time, while also expressing his sympathy to connections of the two runners killed this year.

BITTAR, for whom it was a first John Smith's Grand National meeting as head of the BHA, said: "The evidence indicates that the changes and improvements in safety made over the years have led to an overall decrease in injury and fatalities, both on the Grand National course and racing in general.
"It is important these matters be judged over a period of time. The decade since 2000 was the safest on record for the Grand National with a fatality rate of 1.5 per cent compared to 3.3 per cent at the start of the 1990s.
"Sadly, there have been two fatalities in each of the last two runnings of the race. Naturally our objective is for there to be no fatalities, but we also recognise that we cannot remove risk altogether from such a competitive activity."
He added: "We extend our deepest sympathies to the connections of Synchronised and According To Pete who we know are devastated at the loss of two homebred horses which meant so much to them.
PAUL BITTAR: expressed sympathy
"We are reasonably advanced in the process of examining the incidents which led to Synchronised and According To Pete being put down. While that process still needs to be completed, it is relevant to point out that although both horses lost their riders jumping Becher's Brook, Synchronised galloped away from the fence seemingly without injury and then subsequently incurred a fracture to a hind leg when jumping riderless, while According To Pete was brought down by another horse on the second circuit."
BITTAR continued: "This is an event that generates huge public interest and has a global audience of more than half a billion people. We've seen record crowds of over 150,000 in attendance at Aintree this week, following on from record numbers through the gates to British racecourses in 2011.
"All of this suggests that British racing is doing many things right in the eyes of the consumer. It is critically important to us that the good work being done in racing is not overshadowed by yesterday's events, and that racing continues to work collectively to develop and maintain this progress."

THE problem Britain
In horseracing and here at Aintree today Bloodhorse Illiteracy is the cruel curse that manifests itself, and can be noted to be manifesting itself in many increasingly dangerous ways, burdened upon all those who have achieved Bloodhorse Literacy in their own right, to include the horses.
In the words of bloodhorse literate Monty Roberts in his C4 documentary BLUSHING ET who is going to apologize to the species for all these centuries of abuse, of missunderstanding doing things the wrong way ...?
PAUL BITTAR is bloodhorse illiterate, unless he is prepared to employ a top bloodhorse literate horseman to work upsides him eg. (Sir Henry Cecil, Sir Michael Stoute, John Gosden, Nicky Henderson, Paul Nicholls) to mind what he does, to ensure that all he does is truly bloodhorse literate, he will be taking his pay under false pretences. Just as Veterinary Tim Morris and Jamie Stier have done before him over producing a bloodhorse illiterate whip review..
The non existent bloodhorse literate foundation structure rules within both British political government and the British horseracing government regarding horseracing regulation three people recently caught up in glaring publicity burdened and duped by the bloodhorse illiterate British horseracing government Christophe Soumillon, Richard Hughes and Kirsy Milczasek. Used as scapegoats by these two governments.

COMMENT PROOF OF BLOODHORSE ILLITERACY
The Bloodhorse Illiterate Burnham Report together with the political government commission both a waist of time and money.
How are trainers expected to train owners horses employing superstore shelf stackers, (with the greatest respect for the lives of the shelf stackers) to come in part time, to be paid a minimum wage to handle and to ride out owners horses placed in training? Both these reports show a dangerous life threatening outrageous bloodhorse illiterate scandal. What do these bloodhorse illiterate government people think they are messing with? It does not matter if the poor are placed in the danger zone of British horseracing they will not be missed if they get killed? There is nothing GRAND about bloodhorse illiteracy at all, it is the most dangerous and cruel illiteracy of all.

There are very many sections within horseracing all need to work together to provide people with a day out at the races. A safe and a happy day out at the races that is, not a highly dangerous and distressing one.
Where is the bloodhorse literate career projection structure? Or is it still considered to be not necessary by the bloodhorse illitrerate?

TO STRUCTURE A NEW BLOODHORSE LITERATE DEVELOPMENT ERA
THERE is at present a bloodhorse literate nothingness within the British horseracing government, to include the British bloodhorse illiterate political government (BHA). This has remained to be the case over the last 5 decades. Now in 2012 we can observe the ongoing damaging effects manifesting themselves, left to creep like a cancer throughout British horseracing slowly chocking the living daylights out of the art of bloodhorse literacy, like ivy left to creep all over a tree slowly strangling it. Like the findings, the 'LOT ' of the Lost Garden of Heligan. This once beautiful garden, with a truly fabulous kitchen garden left to rot, to gradually fall into a severe decline over decades. When eventually discovered this garden was found shrouded and hidden. The C4 Series picked up on this televising in instalments, a revelation as to how this garden was uncovered and brought back to life.
THERE IS ANOTHER UNIQUE AND WONDERFUL GARDEN AND ESTATE OF NOTE
just about a mile or two from Goodwood racecourse in the tiny village of West Dean
THE EDWARD JAMES FOUNDATION
Wherever Edward was, and no matter what exciting adventure he was embarking on, he had one desire, one love, from which he never wavered, and that was to preserve his Estate intact.
IN 1964, EDWARD JAMES conveyed his family mansion, art collection and Estate to The Edward James Foundation, a charitable educational trust. The creation of such a trust averted the fragmentation that death duties would have dictated and allowed the materialisation of Edward's vision: creating a community where the Estate supports a college dedicated to the arts and crafts. In 1971, Edward James's vision became a reality when the gates of his family Estate were opened under the auspices of West Dean College
Today the Edward James Estate passes on many of the country skills of times gone by. Key skills that get lost in the passage of time. Key skills that matter today, just as they mattered in the past. To brush such skills aside in the here and now a disaster. Like throwing gold in the gutter.
When you see the huge machinery used on British farms today, you are left to wonder how on earth the horses coped ... and not so long ago?
