it was only about 20 yards wide that fence, easy mistake to make 
Has that ever happened before in 100 years+ at Newbury?!!!!!!
comedy of the highest order! even better than i backed the winner :D
how the hell, god bless you whoever took the 1:25 i put up(was just trying to ecover my stake)
Gutted though not to get the win, he hit 20s in the back straight and knew he's stay on, that he did
Gorman ya pratt!

i could while away the hours dreaming bout the flowers if i only had a brain or did he do it on purpose 
they have to start looking into this...limited, inexpoerienced people fiddle around with money and fortune...mistkes can happen but nobody on the trainer/owner/BHA end cares about...that boy gets 28 days and laughs it off...he should - mistkaes can happen, i say again - get 2 years...and a riding course (like when people dirve a car drunken or careless). bad really...really bad....
Yes, 'mistakes' like this just do not happen, fcuk him off for life then we won't see this happen quite so often.
GEORGE will get the lot at parham in the hunt race tomorrow,that was just a warm up for the BIG ONE tomoz..
Nobody is hurting more than the kid cut him some slack
you cant deny , it was funny as fek watching him 'going for it'. still lmao 
Him 'going for it' was just part of the hollywood, pathetic.
even know he let me down i think people are been OTT about life ban every1 deserves a second chance
well..it is not about us losing today (tomorrow we benfit form another total incompetancy)...the issue is that the bans are ridiculous...that George cries 10 minutes...rides out tomorrow..gets 28 days on Tuesday and back on mamas horse soon. i don't mind the boy...I mind that the penatlies are a joke...if you make such a mistkae 9i.e. as a ref...not sure what mistyake that could possibly be...maybe not even turn up for a PL match lol) they get a break of a few month the least....if not longer.....
dont think he intended it , surely less humiliating ways to fiddle ;)

If you think that was bent you have a life span at this game of exactly 6 months.
It was a horrible, horrendous mistake that the lad made, pure and simple.

a life ban is obviously out of the question...it was a mistake....no intention...so a heavy ban...(for professionals it should be treble the time or 5 times even, btw.)...and then he goes pon a traning course....(20 hours ) and after 2 years or a year he comes back....no problem...28 days are comedy...
Strange how he misses out the last fence, what an amazing co-incidence.
ffs he was crying coming in
shouldnt have happened but dont kill the lad for doing it
infact he got after the horse really well when the horse was getting left behind

I've been watching racing for 30 years mush, please explain how he finds his way to every other fence on the course and somehow decides to miss out the last fence, sorry but we are not children, don't be so facking wet.
he tried everything, but that isn't enough....if I am his mama's milk man and I bring the bottle only without the milk....have a guess what she would say: she would never buy form me again.....ever...he'll learn...(but as i have said: tomorrow we r on a second and another young man, not bothering about walking the course or taking care or gettign overexcited, is messing up and we win).
The issue is the penalties and not the guys who make mistakes...it is a bit the lack of care as well..it is the wrong attitude and carelessness....(hardly anybody of them does it on purpose...that boy surely was the proudest man in the country for 2 minutes).....they need a proper break....not 14 or 28 days.....it is a joke IMO

I've heard every excuse under the sun from these fcukers, sorry it doesn't wash any more, when are they going to do something
Total c0ck up but I worry about some youngsters today with their attention span and ability to retain information.
He's only about 16-17 years old they said and after jumping the last you do have to go to the right so as not to go around again and jump the water jump like on the earlier circuit, so he's obviously got it in his mind to go right after the last and bypass, but unfortunately for him and everyone he has cost money, he went right after the second last and bypassed the last itself.
I bet SWC is relieved twofold though that some of the attention was taken away from him, in that he's not the only one who can make a b@lls up, plus his own racs came to an ended after a bad jump that he would have got the blame for but for the distraction elsewhere.

That was unforgiveable. Such a stupid mistake . As a jockey the first thing you learn is the track. There is a diagramme for the purpose in each weighing and jockey's room. He did not do his job properly end of. Deserves a mega punishment for that. I have no sympathy whatsoever attention to detail was not one of his priorities obviously
he is only 16 ffs. those calling for large bans should be ashamed of yourselves.
Backers got a good run for their money for a long long way, no complaints hear.
When I mentioned to the rider after the race that he should have noticed the last fence, his mother told me to f off and he told me that I should ride the horse and that it was his not his fault, people should not bet.
I suggest he sticks to gymkanas and not play at being a jockey.

no john, he admitted to his mistake and said he thought he was bypassing the water, any of the cretins on this thread who think it was wonky need to be locked up for theyre own safety
knocked me for a few quid,but im used to losing.
its history now,time to look at tomorrows racing.
the lad will be back and im sure he will redeem himself
gl tomorrow.

Last fence error costs amateur rider first win
By Tom Kerr racingpost.com
AMATEUR rider George Gorman received a 14-day ban after mistakenly bypassing the final fence at Newbury when clear and heading for his first win on Merry Vic.
The 17-year-old was having just his second ride under rules in the 3m hunters' chase, riding a horse owned and trained by his mother Carolyn.
Taking the second last the young rider looked set for a landmark success but he made a calamitous misjudgement when he mistook the last fence for one that was to be skipped.
"I thought it was the water jump. I knew that we had to go around the water jump. It was a silly mistake," he said.
Unfortunately for Gorman, he did not realise his mistake and put his head down to drive out the finish. Crossing the line he celebrated standing up in his stirrups before the crushing news was broken to him and his elation turned to devastation.
Returning down the horse walk the rider could be seen with his head in his hands.
He said: "I've gone fromthe highest point of my life to the lowest in no more than a few seconds. I heard mum shouting and then I was a bit worried."
Merry Vic was disqualified leaving Offshore Account the winner, while Gorman was hit with a ban for his indiscretion.
Offshore Account's rider Nick Sutton told RUK: "I feel very sorry for the young lad. I guess he won't do it again. That's one of the benefits of having an older jockey.
"Quite a long way before the fence I could see him angling out. My worry was that my horse might try to go out with him."

They suspended Mr Gorman for 14 days on dates to be notified to him by the British Horseracing Authority.
The Stewards held an enquiry into the use of the whip by Mr N. Sutton, the rider of the winner, OFFSHORE ACCOUNT (IRE) after the last fence. Having heard his evidence and viewed recordings of the race, they found him in breach of Schedule (B)6 Part 2 in that he had hit his horse when clearly winning. The Stewards suspended Mr Sutton for 2 days on dates to be notified to him by the British Horseracing Authority

A certain gold cup winning jockey did it last year and denied he had done anything wrong.i lost all respect for the man after that.he was amatuer also.this was a lot more blatant and cost a lot of people a lotta money.he has no where to hide.the water jump at newbury is half the width and size of the last.did he walk the track,did he not watch the other chases earlier.lucky he was riding for his family.career ending if he rode for anyone else.the ban isnt long enough and it only runs if a hunter chase is on the card.can someone clarify the rule for amatuers.is the ban only enforced on days when a hunter chase is on the card.so u could ride away other days.mr.waley cohen could fill us in on that one.
