The Stewards held an enquiry to consider the apparent improvement in form of the winner, BROWN PETE (IRE), ridden by William Carson and trained by Violet M. Jordan, compared with its previous run at Wolverhampton on 23 November where the gelding finished eighth, beaten by 10 lengths. They interviewed the trainer’s representative who stated that the gelding had benefitted from a change in tactics from forcing the pace last time to being held up on this occasion. Having heard his evidence they forwarded his explanation to the British Horseracing Authority so that the previous performances of BROWN PETE (IRE) could be reviewed. They ordered BROWN PETE to be routine tested.

The Stewards held an enquiry into the reasons behind the five non-runners from Violet M. Jordan’s yard. They interviewed the trainer’s representative and the rider. The trainer’s representative stated that all their seven runners were booked in to travel with Nigel Hardy Transport. However, when informed that the lorry had broken down, they were reduced to one, 2-horse, box, and had to declare five horses as non-runners. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race the Stewards referred the matter to the British Horseracing Authority for further investigation.

turnip turns, apparently the 7 horse box transporter broke down en route to Jordan's yard.

'Luckily' they have a 2 horse box at the yard and Arnold opted to send Daniel Thomas (because they were trying to make him the winningmost horse of the year) and Brown Pete.

Apparently Arnold thought Royal Intruder (funnily enough, another horse who had been blasting off in front in some of its runs when last seen)could beat Big Sylv, however, with the fav out and what then looked to be an "atrocious race", Arnold opted to send Brown Pete.
Report GEORGE.B December 23, 2012 10:51 AM GMT
So seemingly Carson was on Royal Intruder cos apparently Arnold thought that was their best chance of beating the Big Sylv, but once the fav was out, they opted to go with Brown Pete and Carson switched.

No wonder punters are turning away from Horse Racing
Report Franky Four Fingers December 23, 2012 10:59 AM GMT
Gay Future was the racehorse at the centre of an attempted coup by an Irish betting syndicate in Great Britain in 1974. The plot involved a Scottish trainer named Antony Collins.The horse was entered in a race at Cartmel in Cumbria.

On the same day, two additional horses trained by Collins were entered in earlier races at other courses, but these were withdrawn shortly before the races. Syndicate members had used bookmakers away from the courses to place a large number of double and triple wagers, which involved Gay Future in combination bets with these additional horses. The last-minute withdrawals now meant that a large number of bets would roll over onto Gay Future.

As the race start time approached, syndicate accomplices at Cartmel ensured that the long odds (10 to 1) on Gay Future were not lowered by on-course punters. Gay Future won easily, but bookmakers became suspicious at the unusual betting patterns. A follow-up police investigation resulted in syndicate leaders being convicted of attempted fraud, although they received relatively small fines from a sympathetic judge.

With thanks to Google and Mr Wikipedia


Flockton Grey was the British racehorse at the centre of one of the largest betting scandals to hit British horseracing, which remains the best-known case of a corrupt trainer and owner using a ringer to race in place of another horse. Because of the use of a ringer, Flockton Grey did not actually run in the race for which he became most famous.

Flockton Grey was an undistinguished gelding, by Dragonara Palace out of Misippus. Flockton Grey was entered into his first race for two-year-olds on March 29, 1982 at Leicester Racecourse. As a debutant from an unremarkable yard, the horse was priced at 10-1. The perpetrators of the scam, owner Ken Richardson and trainer Stephen Wiles, saw an opportunity to make a quick profit and backed their horse with £20,000, spreading their money around betting shops to avoid detection. They also arranged for a far better horse, Good Hand, formerly owned by Richardson, to run in place of Flockton Grey. As a three-year-old, Good Hand was far too strong for the competition, and romped home unchallenged, to win by 20 lengths.

The margin of victory caused immediate suspicion, and bookmakers refused to pay out. A police investigation followed. Official race photographs revealed the winner had teeth too developed to be a two-year-old's. Records of the course veterinarian disclosed that the winner had a conspicuous scar on its foreleg. Investigators traced Flockton Grey to one of Wiles' yards, determining his identity by blood tests, but found no scar. The deceit uncovered, Richardson was charged with conspiracy to defraud. In June 1984, he was convicted, fined £20,000 with £25,000 in costs, and given a suspended 9-month sentence. Following his conviction, the Jockey Club "warned off" Richardson for an unprecedented period of 25 years. Wiles received a similar ban from racing. Jockey Kevin Darley was exonerated of any knowledge of the switch, and it was noted that a rider with inside knowledge could easily have held his horse back, minimising the winning margin and preventing any suspicion.

Richardson would later resurface as the chairman of Bridlington Town Football Club and later the self-styled "benefactor" of Doncaster Rovers F.C.; Bridlington Town went bankrupt during his stewardship, with fans of the club accusing Richardson of gross financial mismanagement. Similar accusations were made during his tenure at Doncaster. The tumultuous period in the club's history only ended in 1999, when Richardson was convicted of attempted arson for his role in hiring three associates to burn down Doncaster's ground to collect insurance money. He was jailed for four years and ordered to pay £75,000 in costs.
