did they ask why she never went out for another circut then and was the 1st horse pulled up after the line, not compatable with somone thinking there was a lap to go,she should have thought look at that loon riding out with a circuit still to go,when did she realise she,d got it wrong,if we believe her obviously well before the line because she,d slowed to a trot by then
|
|
By:
That was embarrassing. They had obviously laid the horse big
|
|
By:
wht did she think the other 2 horses before the last were 40 yds wide if there was another circuit to go
|
|
By:
horses dont tend to race the width of the hurdles if theres a circuit still to go, even if she made a mistake she must have known at the last hence her barely trotting over the line,so wht didnt she ride it soon as she realised
|

By:
ps i dont think she,d have won anyway
wonder if she told her mum this will stay forever,  |

Race 6 - 4:40pm THE totepoolliveinfo.com HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4)
The Stewards held an enquiry into the running and riding of SIROP DE MENTHE (FR), ridden by Lucy Gardner, and trained by Susan Gardner, which was not asked for any effort on the run in before finishing second, beaten 4 ½ lengths for first place. They interviewed the rider and the trainer and heard a report from the Veterinary Officer. The rider stated that she had mistaken the race distance, thinking she had another circuit to go before the finish and therefore she had not ridden the gelding out. Having heard her evidence and viewed recordings of the race the Stewards found the rider in breach of Rule (B)59.3.2.2. They suspended her for 14 days as follows: Sunday 8, Monday 9, Tuesday 10, Wednesday 11, Thursday 12, Friday 13, Saturday 14, Sunday 15, Monday 16, Tuesday 17, Wednesday 18, Thursday 19, Friday 20 and Saturday 21 March 2015. |

Apologies as I missed Mr Spock's post of the enquiry.

Plenty of money for the winner, believe it was 10/1 last night.

14 days is absurdly lenient, 30 days should have been the very least she should have got.
|
|
By:
14 days is absolutely disgusting, error or not. Like a previous poster has said she'll probably have very few rides within this time so where is the punishment? Punters will have lost money on this incident......they are the ones that have been punished not the jockey.
Surely a minimum 6 months ban would have been more suitable in this instance.(Proportionate to the amount of potential rides~). Surely this leaves the door wide open to any possible future incidents, ie lay your horse, put a claimer on with the instruction to ride your race and if your in with a winning just sit still and when questioned say that you thought there was another circuit? |

thats true muff........a young female rider like her will be forgiven and the busines has been done...if it was a tony culhane type of jock he would have been lynched from the nearest tree

14 days just gives the useless stewards license to reduce JM's ban.
|
|
By:
14 days is saying....do what you like ....the punishment does not in any way fit the crime... this isnt mccoy who could lose 60 rides in 14 days ...and some important big race rides.....how many on average would she lose ?...and how many of them would she be widely considerd to have a good chance of winning ? the level of punishment promotes corruption
|
|
By:
why not just take her license away, would that appease the betfair forum
|
|
By:
one hypothetical sideline (to me anyhow) is that if the winner hadnt been able to get past on the run-in, bearing in mind no other horse did, there would have been the bizarre spectacle of the jockey setting off for another circuit having already won the race. If that had happened, no doubt the stewards would have wanted a word about it, and would they have still banned her for misjudging the number of circuits, or would they have let it go as an incidental irrelevance cos shed won the race ??

In the last 14 days she's had 2 rides at Exeter, so its not going to cost her on the riding front.
But backing Very Noble from 10's to 3's is very profitable, and that person must be very happy. |

interesting but clearly no ban ......can only ban if a law has been breached ........i would not think there is a law in the book that says if one has won a race , one is not allowed to continue on another circuit

By:
hypothetically , if someone like mccoy did the same crime, i would assume that the ban would be similar...but clearly the punishment would be hugely greater given the high profile and the loss of earnings and high profile rides

Joke. The race was 2m2f110yds. If she thought there was another circuit to go, just how long did she think this hurdle race was?

Remember the criminal fraternity threatened George Moore because he wouldn't pull horses and as a result he left his position as Murless's jockey and returned to his homeland. Not saying that a gang threatened Lucy , but it's a possible explanation for what happened.

"Returning after the race, Gardner said, "I thought there was another circuit to go. I hold my hands up. What an idiot I've been. I've never done anything like that before."
Apparently she was "mortified".  |

By:
the race has just this minute been shown again on ATR ............jamie moore was riding a finish over the second last next to her....surely she must have thought that was strange if there was a lap to go ....the plot thickens

That doesn't bear thinking about, Posy

You would forgive her if she was attractive, but her mount is better looking than she is

Rider sat motionless?
Not 50 Shades then??? |

By:
if your riding a 2 miler and your on the snaff thinking you,ve the best part of 2 miles to go,must have thought she was on some horse and with everyone else beaten a distance or rowing away ,she must have thought she was going to win by a circuit,
|

By:
Cacique, she was injured on Flying Award at Bangor on 6th February and only came back at Exeter. She would have ridden more than two.

By:
Well they fell for the id thought id got another circuit to go Guv line.
That race was rancid. |
|
By:
14 days a price well worth paying.

I thought we were watching possibly the greatest hurdler since Istabraq in action. A steed that could win without even the slightest coercion - maybe a gentle ruffling of its ears and it was away. Even a possible Late entry for the champion hurdle, the gold cup and the grand national. Maybe even the derby.
|

By:
I agree - the race stank to me. If McCririck gets his whip ban incorporated, will all races look like that?
|
|
By:
i still dont get it dont mind the excuse but if you buy the excuse why did her thought process stop an inch after the line,she could have been right and the other jocks wrong,but she decided in a stride she was wrong
