FIASCO AT FAKENHAM
Lee
Mottershead, and Steve Dennis bring us
an update.
"Course in u-turn, Brendan Powell apologises".
Lee Mottershead "Fakenham in u-turn over track changes
"FAKENHAM
yesterday seemed poised to execute a significant about-turn and accede to calls from the BHA and jockeys
to take measures aimed at reducing the chance of further riders repeating
the mistake that on Tuesday caused leading conditional jockey Brendan Powell to
take the wrong course."
Steve Dennis calls for racecourse officials to step up to
ensure Tuesday's fiasco doesn't happen again.
"For
want of a rail the race was lost. What
happened at Fakenham on Tuesday afternoon was disappointing for a lot of people
in particular and for the sport in general, yet with even the slightest foresight the
whole sorry situation would have been avoided.
Steve Dennis "IS
IT incompetence? Ooh, we're getting warmer. David Hunter (Clerk of the Course)
blustered about putting too much responsibility - that word again - into the hands of a casual racecourse
worker, citing what might happen if they get it wrong. Well it's his
responsibility (again) to ensure they don't.
"This
is 2012, for at least another few weeks longer. There is no justification for
any race to be started on any British racecourse in which there is any room for
manoeuvre regarding which way the horses
should go. Any potential margin
for error should be eliminated by the positioning of a plastic rail, of
tape, of cones, or of the old standby of
men dressed in florescence and a little brief authority carrying walkie-talkies
and waving flags.
"It
should be straightforward. Trainers do the training, jockeys do the riding,
racecourse officials ensure races can be run correctly and safely. And
then this won't happen again."
THE
OVERTURN STORY
a must read taking you straight into the heart and the soul of the Equus Zone
OVERTURN
The story of Donald McCain's star for all seasons. Peter Thomas traces the development
of Donald McCain's duel-purpose ace who is striving to reach new heights over
fences."
"New
act opens for star turn at centre of stirring true-life tale of guts and glory.
People never see him as brilliant, and perhaps we're as guilty as anybody ,
but this little horse keeps turning up and doing it again and again'.
A great photograph of Donald Mc Cain with Overturn at his yard: "He's the kind of horse who makes you smile every morning ".
JMC Overturn the kind of horse who takes you straight into the heart and soul of the EQUUS ZONE. A true story, just a little bit too exciting for a bedtime story perhaps.
