Trainers' prize-money protest leads to walkover

By Jon Lees 6:32AM 11 July 2012

"TRAINERS have withdrawn all bar one runner from the final race at Worcester on Wednesday night in protest against poor prize-money.

"Top jumps trainers including Nicky Henderson, Philip Hobbs, Jonjo O'Neill, Donald McCain, Alan King and David Pipe are among those committed to supporting the boycott in an attempt to draw attention to what they claim are unacceptable prize-money levels.

BHA in threat to take action over boycott

Lee Mottershead

"THE BHA last night sent out a thinly veiled warning to trainers as the sport's governing body let it be known that it would consider taking further disciplinary action against the Charlie Mann-led group whose boycott action resulted in yesterday's final race at Worcester being reduced to a walkover.

"Mann's efforts to make the Worcester's race meaningless bore fruit as nine trainers-including Nicky Henderson, Jonjo O'Neill, Philip Hobbs, Alan King and Donald McCain - joined him in withdrawing their declared runners from a novice hurdle whose £3,000 prize-money fell £900 short of the Horsemen's Group tariff.

"Buoyed by the plot's success, Mann pledged to consider a similar move next week to persuade the Northern and Arena Racing Group that owns Worcester against staging further races below tariff.

"As Mann had forecast, only one horse - the Nigel Twiston Davies-trained MOULIN DE LA CROIX - was left in the Partex Marketing Systems-sponsored contest. Part of the £3,000 prize-money earned by the sole starter will be shared by the ten trainers and used to pay their mandatory £140 fines. Mann said the remaining money would be donated to the Injured Jockey's Fund.
