"The jockey himself has done nothing wrong. If they understood how difficult a ride this horse is they'd actually think the chap did a good job. In fairness to Jason I think if he had pulled his stick out and given him a smack he would probably have ended up over the rails."
Dont think he needed a smack in fairness, if he had stopped the stranglehold 2f out he would have won on the bridle.

Won't run if its true what i heard,got stung in the mouth by a wasp coming out of the stalls.
Hahaha, WALOFS, I hope this is a fishing expedition.
I'm actually surprised we have not had the "ultra-sonic gun theory" brought out by THEM yet.

Not too many got involved in this moderate handicap which went to CASELA PARK. He showed good speed at the start after breaking smartly, clearly relishing a return to this surface. The minor sprint handicap winner at Wolverhampton last season showed good[/b[b]] battling qualities, too, on his second start since going to Ireland. He got the better of the The Hamptons entering the final furlong and did enough in the closing stages to hold the luckless favourite for his second career win
Very tricky ride

If he'd won, I think Jason was the one who'd be getting a smack

It was a bizarre display from Irish-challenger Casela Park, who appeared a horribly tricky ride. Having been given a lot to do out the back, he was staying on from halfway but hung all over the place when put under a little pressure. His head carriage was most awkward as he kept hanging both ways, but continued to make up ground and he would have gone very close to winning had he been able to keep a true line. He has run fairly from the front before and this seemed somewhat out of character, so it was unsurprising when the stewards looked into his running and riding straight after the race. They later found the jockey to be in breach of Rule (B)59.2 in that the rider had intentionally failed to ensure that his mount had run on its merits and referred the case to Portman Square. His trainer later said the horse can be a hard ride, it was just his second outing for him and that similar tactics are likely to be deployed if, as is expected, he takes up his engagement at Musselburgh on Friday.

The horse is clearly liable to throw in some absolute shockers, all of which come from when he doesn't lead. He seems to hate having horses right in front of him and the head carriage was clearly a sign of that. Watch his run at the Curragh at the end of last year where his jockey never goes for him, it's similar and the head carriage, although not as pronounced, is still wayward. See so many dodgy rides every week and yet for some reason this one, where no one actually seems to have looked at the horse's form/profile properly is treated as the dodgiest ride of the century. Ridiculous stuff imo.

Personally I feel that proves it, up the straight his head hanging to the right, and trying to go to the far rail, Queally being a top jockey has made up his mind. Notice too he's on the outside of the pack so isn't surrounded. I'd take more issue with a ride like Fenton's on Curely's tonight in the 7:50

Ben, if you really cant see what is happening in this race then I think you should give up the game. The horse is "hanging" as it is being throttled ffs (imo!)

Fair enough you're allowed your views lads, just like I have mine. I think he does go for the horse but it throws it's head around so he tries to get control back. Poor jockeys often look like they're doing something wrong when in fact they just don't have the ability. The horse won't go through the gaps, and there's no form where he does go through a gap without kicking up a fuss. Good luck anyway.

Jockey Jason Behan may have had a low profile in Britain, but that seems sure to change after his ride aboard Casela Park, described by one racing expert as "one of the most extraordinary I have ever seen", was referred to the British Horseracing Authority by stewards at Newcastle today.
Behan, who rode out his claim in the 1990s but has had only a handful of rides since his last winner back in 2005, finished sixth of the 12 runners in the seven furlong handicap aboard the Eamon Tyrell-trained Casela Park.
Making just his second start for the stable, Casela Park was supported in from 10-1 to 8-1 on-course and having been held up in the rear, was staying on well from halfway when he started to swerve violently from left to right. Despite his actions, Casela Park continued to make up ground and eventually finished just over two lengths behind the winner.
Simon Rowlands, an independent racing analyst and former editor and handicapper at Timeform for 19 years, commented: "It was one of the most extraordinary rides that I have ever seen." Rowlands also said the bizarre nature of the performance reminded him of a race at Kelso in February 1991 when Brian Storey rode Flowing River. Storey and trainer Dick Allan received six-month bans from the racing authorities for that incident.
"The stewards have referred the jockey and trainer to the BHA under Rule 59.2(d), namely that the horse was 'intentionally restrained and not let down', however a disciplinary panel hearing is effectively an entirely new inquiry and the charges they end up facing may be different," confirmed BHA spokesman Paul Struthers.
Under the current BHA guidelines, a rider found guilty of a breach of Rule 59.2(d) can be banned for between 28 and 90 days with the trainer fined up to £30,000, however were they to be found guilty of "deliberately preventing a horse from winning", the disciplinary hearing could result in both trainer and jockey banned for up to five years.
Although Behan does not have a British licence, any punishment handed out by the BHA would be reciprocated by the Turf Club in Ireland. Also declared to run at Musselburgh on Friday, Casela Park races in the colours of Ronan Buckley, an Irishman whom has been reported as "a business partner" of jockey Kieren Fallon. Fallon was declared to ride the horse until it was pulled out of a race last week.

Regarding Ben10s comments. The horse was a ride difficult to lose on today. I backed it and it was cantering way off the pace but with a clear run on the outside when the field starts to come to it, Behan responds by urging the horse for the first time but urging it behind a wall of horses, then gaps start to appear and the horse is hell bent on going through them so the Jock is obliged to get all WWF on the horse. This will make the mainstream news and seeing the Tyrell and his jockey are expendable small fry they will be hung drawn and quartered to make the game look straight. This stuff is as common as debt in Ireland and is glossed over all the time.

I emailed Matt on ATR to get him to review the ride. I backed it as its Irish form was strong thought 10/1 was big price. And there was a couple of grand looking to lay it before off. Thought that suspicious. Trainer should get the 5 year ban.

They would be silly to run tomorrow if they hope to get money on. It will be odds on surely? I suppose they might still run in case they get warned off at the inquiry. I hope they get warned off for life.

Be surprised if it runs Fri, as the ride will be scrutinised and how it goes could affect the outcome of the hearing. Was a shocking effort, goes on in Ireland all the time with never a word, which makes Irish racing generally a joke.

Am I right in gathering that (a) The horse had a known measure of form and ability (b) The horse's price contracted -indicating that he had been well supported and presumably also by connections who would have known most about their chances. 10/1 to 15/2 are pretty juicy odds. (c)Why , therefore , would a plot have been hatched to try to prevent the horse from winning in such an obvious and clumsy way ? (d) Why , also , would connections choose to carry out such a manoeuvre in Britain where there was likely to be more robust scrutiny of riding practice rather than in Ireland -where according to the consensus , scrutiny is either lighter or non-existent?

Vubiant, I think someone said he was available on the exchanges at 12.0 for a few thousand right before the off. So maybe the general public backed the horse because they thought he had a decent chance, then someone connected tried to lay the hell out of it just before the off.
This is just a theory, I've no idea what really happened. You don't get the whole story from just looking at the SP though.

it was only 10/1 opening show because word got out,if that horse was trying you would have been lucky to get 7/2 on the morning,as it would have been nibbled at on here the night before.and we all know that the odds compilers make the market off here.

Anyone else think this could be an incredibly cunning "reverse coup".
Get the public petrified of not backing it, due to fears it may hack up, smash it's price in and because you know it has no chance, voila, you have created an under 100% book to back the rest.
Nothing in the BHA rules to say you can't back the field other than one.......

Providing an alibi to connections when in fact they should be outlawing them and making them an example.
