YESTERDAY'S RESULT REVIEW

YESTERDAY AT PUNCHESTOWN
LEE MOTTERSHEAD emerged unscathed from a wet open day of the festival.


RP Headline and Pic 1 in sequence  AMAZING PIC OF DAVY RUSSELL PERFORMING A MIRACLE TO STAY ON GOLD CUP FAVOURITE SIR DES CHAMPS AS THEY SURVIVE A DRAMATIC LAST-FENCE BLUNDER AT PUNCHESTOWN YESTERDAY."

NOTE in this pic 1 sequence, DAVY'S hands and the gentle lightest contact they still have between them on the bridle with the rein at full stretch, DAVY'S body weight thrown backwards off SIR DES CHAMPS back into the air, but DAVY, managing to keep his balance to stay in true contact with his horse in spite of the desperate predicament they find themselves in, to go on to win their race by 36 lengths.( Mean price though 2-7f )

This is 'Bloodhorse Literacy' in action at it's finest, how would Paul Roy, Paul Bittar, Tim Morris, Jamie Stier and Lynn Williams manage action in the saddle at this level of bloodhorse literacy? Or indeed at any level at all? What help do these 5 men imagine in their wildest dreams their bloodhorse illiterate whip review will achieve?

RP Headline and Pic 2 in sequence "RUSSELL sits tight to guide SIR DES to first Grade 1 win."
In this second sequence pic we can see how SIR DES CHAMPS kicks away from this fence
holds his head and neck up into DAVY'S chest as DAVY still managing to keep his balance intact with this horse, is now thrown forward out of this pradicament and in doing so this horse helps DAVY get back in the saddle to go on together to win this race.

It can be noted by the pose and expression caught in this pic 2 sequence that SIR DES CHAMPS is well aware of how tricky this manoeuvre had been. If DAVY had lost his balancing link with this horse their race would have been over.

Another great bloodhorse literate handler rider of the highest calibre

This is 'Bloodhorse Literacy' in action at it's finest, how would Paul Roy, Paul Bittar, Tim Morris, Jamie Stier and Lynn Williams manage action in the saddle at this level of bloodhorse literacy?

There needs to be a strong bloodhorse literate presence working within the governments if governments have any intention at all of allowing British horseracing to reach its true potential, and for their own financial gain. It seems strange that football team members are so well paid to kick a football around, when horseracing using a live horse to compete, but pays handler rider trainer teams a cruel pittance. How are these governments getting away with such negligence and ignorance?




GRAHAM GREEN
DEATH OF GEORGE WARD
"Racing pays tribute to leading sponsor and owner/ breeder.

"OWNER -BREEDER and successful businessman George Ward , who invested more than £25 million in race sponsorship but was ultimately thwarted from realising his ambition of becoming an influential figure within the sport's  corridors of power, has died aged 79 following a short illness.

"Ward's bulging sponsorship portfolio under the Bonusprint and Trippleprint banners invluding Kempton's King George v1 Chase, the Cheltenham Festival's Stayers' Hurdle ....

"JOHN REID leads the tributes to a great friend of the sport, described George Ward's "absolutely fantastic" influence on his career as he talked about the owner with whom he enjoyed a lasting friendship that far transcended most jockey-owner relationships .....   


EDWARD GILLESPIE TO STAND DOWN  

HOWARD WRIGHT "Gillespie declares at Cheltenham after an unbeaten century....

ALASTAIR DOWN "On a can-do character who did it."
