Andrew
Scutts “Ten-year ban for Ahern
“EDDIE
AHERN’S successful 20-year career in the saddle lay in tatters last night after
he was disqualified for ten years in the latest
corruption case to besmirch racing.
BHA
“The penalties will serve as a deterrent”
TRAINERS and jockeys were stunned
into silence last night by the severity of the punishment meted out to Eddie
Ahern, leaving the BHA to proclaim it was “better equipped than ever at
pinpointing and prosecuting malpractice”. Writes Tony Smirthwaite. An appeal pending.
J Margaret Clarke Turfcall comment
Another of BHA's shockingly abusive miscarriage of justice. .Yes Sir, No Sir, Three Bags Full Sir.
Dragged through since January 2011......

JUMP
jockey-turned trainer Philip Hide was awarded £58,000 compensation for injuries
sustained in a fall at Cheltenham in 2006 that
resulted in him being placed in an induced coma,
writes Graham Green.
Richard
Birch reports “Dettori has not given up on Derby
FRANKIE
DETTORI’S agent insisted yesterday the jockey will still have a ride in the
Investec Derby at Epsom on Saturday week – if he is cleared to return to the saddle in
time.
“Ray
Cochrane said: “There are plenty of offers around but we are having to take it
day by day. I certainly haven’t given up hope that he will be back in time, and
neither has Frankie.”
Part two of our special report p8-9
WITH VIEWING figures in decline,
Lee Mottershead talks to Andrew Franklin, who produced Channel 4’s racing
coverage until Highflyer lost the contract.
IS C4 RACING OUT OF TUNE WITH ITS
AUDIENCE?
J Margaret Clarke Turfcall Comment
No the audience is out of tune with ‘Bloodhorse Literacy’ and the
true professional horsemen who have achieved bloodhorse literacy in their own
right. Sadly the British Horseracing
Authority Government fail to recognise the part the horse plays in horseracing.
Just the same as the British Horseracing Authority Government is out of tune
with all those who have achieved true professional Bloodhorse Literacy, as has Eddie Ahern the latest who's life and times career has been sacrificed unjustly by the careless BHA.
The sport of horseracing is all
about horses. If members of the public are not interested in horses then this
sport is not for them. Or is it?
Without exploring how does anyone know? To watch the art of interaction between horse and rider, the level of horsemanship. An amazing and truly great experience. Horseracing is so much more than just a gambling game.
Check out the amazing art of Peter Biegel and Stubbs.The amazing art achieved by Frankie Dettori and Eddie Ahern both at present being punished unjustly for their great art.in the saddle, and their love of horses, putting their needs first at all times.
