Courses will be remeasured after Wetherby farce
By Jon Lees
ALL British jumps tracks will be remeasured by the government (BHA) after it emerged Wetherby’s biggest race of the year has been run over the wrong distance for five years. See pages 1 and 8.
Mulholland hits out
after The Young Master is stripped of Badger victory.
Jon Lees brings news
As published in the Racing Post on Friday November 14.page 10 NEWS
“TRAINER Neil
Mulholland yesterday hit out at the system that led to the Young Master being
stripped of his victory in the Gadger Ales Trophy when a BHA disciplinary panel
disqualified the horse because he was not qualified to take part.
A computer error at
Wetherbys was blamed for the failure to pick up the ineligibility, but the
panel found under the rules it was Mulholland’s responsibility to check the
conditions that require to check the conditions of last Saturday’s Wincanton
race. I bet they did.
“Mulholland received a
£250 fine, below the recommended entry point, for what the panel deemed “an unfortunate sequence of events” and in a
second blow the trainer learned the BHA would take account of the performance
and enforce a 14lb rise. However, on a positive note for Mulholland, the run
has been treated as a third chase outing, qualifying him for other Class 1
races.
“Mulholland, while
accepting his responsibility for the horse’s entry, said: “Weatherbys have a
big part in this. They are reimbursing my owner his costs and are holding their
hands up. There were 1,500 not- qualified horses entered last year, which averaged
out at 27 a week. You can’t take that fact away.
“I feel I’ve been
very unlucky that it was my horse who happened to slip through the system
Wetherby’s had a brand new system put in at the end of September and their
system failed. Weatherby’s have admitted it’s a big computer failure and we’re very
disappointed the horse has been left with a 14lb penalty.
“This is not
something I went out to do on purpose. I understand the rules and they are
there to be obeyed but unfortunately my horse was the one who slipped through
the system and the system is taking none
of the blame for it.
“They {Weatherbys}
weren’t at the hearing today. If they did nothing wrong why are they paying for
the owner’s expenses? It is what it is and we will have to get on with it.
“The disqualification
of The Young Master became inevitable once it emerged the novice was not qualified
to take part in the Wincanton race.
The panel expressed “Some
Sympathy” for Mulholland who produced evidence
to show at some points of the entry cycle the novice exclusion does not appear in the conditions of the race
on the racing administration website, which was acknowledged by the BHA..
“Ruth
Quinn, BHA director of racing, said:”Weatherbys has an IT system which is designed
to alert trainers when they have entered a horse that is not qualified. While
this does not override the trainers responsibility under the rules, it is a
service which the BHA, via Weatherbys, provides to the industry and it is clear
that service did not work as it should have done on this occasion
“Not only is this a
service designed to assist trainers, but it is also part of our collective responsibilities
to connections of horses and punters to ensure incidences such as this do not
occur. The outcome of Saturday’s race is simply not satisfactory for the
betting public.
“”We are satisfied
with the explanation provided by Weatherbys and that the coding error on the
administration system has now been fixed. It is importaint such an incident
does not occur again. We also support Weatherby’s decision to compensate the
owner for the cost of the entry fee and race day expenses.
What about compensating
the trainer for all the inconvenience placed upon him …
“Seperately, the
BHA has made a decision to reassess The Young Master’s handicap mark based on
the evidence of the Badger Ales Trophy. We have a duty to the sport as a whole,
including punters and other horsemen, and that duty is not played out by not
taking account of the form from Saturday’s race.
“We appreciate this
may be seen as a hard line by some, but we are confident that is best intersts
of the sport it is correct decision.
“It is borne out by
other precedents of horses being disqualified - for example for taking the wrong course-for
example-then being reassessed off the back of these performances. “
