ROA Calls for action on
withdrawal abuse
“THE Racecourse Owners
Association has warned that abandoning the self-certification system. could put an unwelcome financial burden on its
members and instead called for the BHA to take action against individual trainers
who are abusing the option, writes Scott
Burton.
The British political and
horseracing government to include all the racecourses are abusing all those who
belong and work within the Equus Zone to include the horses. And have been getting away with doing so over
the last 6 decades . A scandal of
massive significance.
All those who belong in the Equus
Zone who work with the racehorses in training every day come first not last.
They are not there to be abused by the bloodhorse illiterate. As neither are they there to be subjected to bloodhorse illiterate fraud.
“Echoing the comments of National Trainers Federation president Rupert Arnold in yesterday’s Racing Post, Wayman admitted some people were abusing the system.
“Of course, the downside of such an initiative is that some may try to take advantage by using self-certification for reasons it was never intended, “ said Wayman.
“It isn’t difficult to monitor each trainer’s rate of non-runners and our view is that, rather than altering the current approach and penalising the majority who play by the rules, we would support the BHA taking stronger measures against anybody found to be abusing the system.
“Those who play by the rules? “ There are no true Equus Rules to British horseracing, just as there are no true Equus Rules to Global horseracing.
The British political and horseracing government to include the racecourses are
fraudulent impostors
British and Global horseracing is being run to suit only the bloodhorse illiterate.
People who call their racehorses “ it “ need to be stopped from owning racehorses.
Jon Lees brings news: “Scudamore hails Zara’s Dude role.
“The method of raceday
withdrawals without recourse to a veterinary inspection has come under scrutiny
in recent weeks following a spate of non- runners on the all-weather and
attendant problems with rule 4 deductions.
“But ROA chief executive Richard
Wayman said punishing the many to catch the few was not a sensible way
forward. He said: “One of the main
reasons self-certification was introduced was to reduce the
not-insignificant cost of arranging a
visit by a vet to issue a veterinary certificate for a horse with a relatively
minor ailment that meant it shouldn’t be racing.
“With the number of owners and
horses in steady decline, it’s simply good sense to seek to avoid unnecessary
expense wherever we can. Critics of the system point to abuses surrounding horses drawn unfavourably at certain tracks

“MONBEG DUDE’S trainer Michael
Scudamore yesterday praised the role of Zara Philips as the former world
three-day-event champion prepared to put the finishing touches on the leading
Crabbie’s Grand National hope.
“On Monday last season’s Welsh
National winner finishes a weekly program of schooling sessions supervised by
Philllips as the clock ticks down on Saturday week’s big race, which her
husband Mike Tindall says will be more
nerve-racking than playing in a Rugby international.
“MONBED DUDE will pay his final
visit to Gatcombe
Park
“The sessions began after the
Chepstow triumph in January last year and the first evidence it was paying off
emerged when Monbeg Dude beat Theatre Guide to land a Grade 3 handicap chase at
Cheltenham in December. He finished fifth in
the Grimthorpe at Doncaster
on his only subsequent run.
“Tindall, a Rugby World Cup
winner with England and now
a player- coach at Gloucester , shares Monbeg
Dude with team mate James Simpson –Daniel and Nicky Robinson, who plays for Bristol
“Tindall said: He’s been coming
down to do pole work to sharpen him up since the Welsh National.
“Zara said it looked like he was
not quite respecting his fences and he was a bit lazy. The progress he has made
has been marked. He was there on Monday and was flying in the indoor arena.
“He comes to Gatcombe, does 35
minutes’ schooling in the arena and then goes up the hill. He will have a
session on Monday. The idea will be just to give him a sharpener. “
“Scudamore, who rides Monbeg Dude
in all his work, said: “Zara’s input has been huge. A lot of things have come
together The horse has more experience and is a bit older and stronger. It’s
about teaching him to be a bit more respectful of his obstacles and more aware
of where his feet are. From what he’s done this season, the evidence is there.
“For National Hunt you are
looking at accuracy and speed, where eventers look at it in a bit more detail .
Zara’s been good in not teaching him to be an eventers.
“With her knowledge of racing, of
riding and having her own point-to-pointers, it’s been a massive element.
Monbeg Dude had realised he could take a chance at one and get away with it and
we have been trying to get that out of his mind. “
“Scudamore, 30, hopes to become
the first member of his family to win the National since grandfather Michael
rode OXO to victory in 1959. His father, former champion Peter, never won the
race in the saddle but was assistant to Nigel Twiston Davies when he
triumphed with Earth Summit and Bindaree. In another link to the race, his partner Tess
Champion is a relative of winning jockey Bob.
(Aldaniti partner Bob Champion
won Grand National 1981)
“A Scudamore has ridden or had
some involvement in the Grand
National for a fair few years, “ he said
“But 1959 is a long time ago and hopefully one of us can change that. There’s
definitely a hunger to win it.
“It’s probably one of the
strongest Nationals there’s been. Monbeg
Dude is a Welsh National winner and his form with Theatre Guide , and he goes
on the ground. He ticks a lot of boxes. “
“Paul Carberry, who won the
National in 1999, will retain the ride at Aintree, which Tindall will visit for
the first time, dashing north after training for an Amlin Cup quarter-fiinal
against Wasps.
“Tom Scudamore, who won on Mombeg
Dude at Cheltenham , is likely to be claimed by
David Pipe.
“Paul schooled him in Lambourn
over the Aintree fences during Cheltenham , “
said Tindall. Carbs rode the horse when others didn’t want to ride him. Loyalty
is a big thing.
“Watching the race will probably
be worse than an international. Scu and James both get nervous and Nicky is a
panicker as well. I’m normally quite laid- back but Grand National weekend is
going to be a sweatathon. We have got to
the point where we expect to finish in the top three. He got a bit separated
and had too much to do at Doncaster
“But as a prep run we had to be
happy with that. He came in bouncing and on his toes. Looking at how his coat
has changed and how he worked on Monday, you know he’s in good form. We just
have to get him round. “
