Lyons seeks change in
light of Keane incident at Wexford.

ten-day ban.
“APPRENTICE Colin
Keane’s boss Ger Lyons yesterday suggested more could be done to prevent a
repeat of the rider’s failure to weigh in after he partnered a winner at
Wexford on Saturday.
“Explaining the
sequence of events that led to Keane entering the changing rooms before
weighing in after Unrequited was first passed the post in the 1m3+f handicap,
Lyons revealed distractions had been responsible for the costly mistake, and
that Keane had offered to pay the horses owner the prize-money lost to make
amends.
“After Colin had
spoken to my team and the press he headed as per normal to the weighing room, “
Lyons told his Face Book followers. “A trainer he was riding for later on got
in his ear as to what he wanted him to do. Before Colin new it he had put his
foot over the threshold of the Jockey’s’
room, which is deemed illegal, and hence he was disqualified. He held his hands
up instantly and was obviously upset.
“He has apologised to
me and, more importantly, to my owner and even offered to pay the owner the
winning prize-money, which was declined. “
Lyons added: “The
onus is on the jockey to weigh in but maybe, with all the modern- day
distractions, a steward should escort the jockey’s back to the scales to make
sure this doesn’t happen. “
“Keane, who is
sitting at the top of the apprentice table, incurred a ten-day ban for the
error, which meant Unrequited was disqualified and placed last, and his backers
left out of pocket. The ban means the jockey will miss Irish Champions Week-end
.
“Lyons added “It is
an expensive lesson for Colin as he misses the big champions weekend, but I
doubt it’s a mistake he will make again in his career. We all make mistakes and
It’s how we deal with them that counts. “
J Margaret Clarke Factfile
IN IRISH AND BRITISH
HORSERACING in the training department carried out at home by the licensed trainer
and his-her team every day, there will always be found a “Lead Horse” . In Aidan O’Brien’s team and in Richard Hannon’s
Team at home there may well be several “Lead
Horses” used every day.
A “Lead Horse” is an
older racehorse who understands the procedures that a trainer uses whilst
his-her horses are out at exercise every day, considered to be a horse that can
lead a string of racehorses and make sure to keep the whole string safe whilst
out at exercise.
Clearly the stewards
at Wexford this day didn’t bother to make sure the young apprentice Colin Keane
had the guidance of a steward following his win partnering Unrequited this day.
Therefore it is not Colin Keane’s fault. It is the fault of the stewards at the
racecourse this day for failing in their duty to guide this young man safely
throughout all the procedures required of him whilst on this racecourse. This was a racecourse stewards error.
