Charles Byrnes

Cant bet in a race where hes involved. Rancid

Not even the worst set of sherry drinkers could miss that one.

blay tent.

Stinky...... again

A bloody mystery how it has a licence. Or ever got one. Just take it away from him. Are they all in on if with this horrible creature. As stated when it has a runner in ANY race you don't bother touching it.

he Raceday Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Ellaat (GB), ridden by G.P. Brouder, and trained by C.Byrnes. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. G.P. Brouder, stated that his instructions were to settle his mount early, get it to relax as it had made a noise previously and to do his best from there. He said his mount settled well but made a noise at the first bend and this continued throughout the race. He said he tried to quicken the pace from about halfway so it would not turn into a sprint in the closing stages and that his mount hung right in the home straight but despite this, was ridden to the best of his ability. He concluded by stating that his mount was leg weary after the winning post and was dismounted and walked back in. He accepted that his mount took some time to pull up after the race and had continued galloping until after the mile start. When questioned why he did not pull up his mount during the race despite making such a noise, he stated that he was happy to continue because it had made a noise previously. C.Byrnes, confirmed the instructions given and referred to his charges wind issues. He said he was disappointed with the ride given and referred to it as "not pretty viewing" but when asked if he felt the rider should have pulled his charge up, he stated that the the rider was correct not to pull the animal up and referred to it as being being "only a low rated animal". On further questioning when asked if he felt the animal was prevented from running on it's merits, he was satisfied that this had not occurred. The Raceday Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer,who stated that Ellaat was coughing post race, but was otherwise post race normal. Samples were taken for analysis. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that both trainer and rider were in breach of Rule 212A(i) in that both were involved in the running and/or riding of a horse in a race, who deliberately or recklessly causes or permitted a horse to run other than on its merits. Having taken their records in this regard into account, the Raceday Stewards fined C. Byrnes, trainer, €6000. They suspended G.P. Brouder for 21 racedays and ordered that he forfeit his riding fee. Furthermore, the Raceday Stewards suspended Ellaat for 90 days in accordance with the provisions of Rule 212 C.(d) and referred the betting pattern of Ellaat to a Senior racing Official for further investigation.
In arriving at their decision, The Raceday Stewards acknowledged the report from the I.H.R.B. Veterinary Office, that Ellaat was coughing post race, but they were satisfied that given the way the animal finished out the race and appeared to them to run on after passing the winning post that the animal was not inconvenienced in any way at the time. Mrs. P. Hassett, Stipendiary Steward was replaced by Mr. Liam Walsh, Senior Stipendiary Steward for this enquiry.

leg weary after post but took some time to pull up .Taking the p!ss.

the RTV Ireland lads will go through this with a fine tooth comb during Thursday night's Clonmel coverage...

aye...sure they will.

It was one of the worst,even by his standards,the jockey dismounting after being carted half the track to try and give a crumb of credibility to the ride was the cream on top.

decent punishment from the stewards anyway.

For anyone who missed it.

Gavin Brouder has definitely gone in to my 'keep an eye on him' tray after that one...

a superb display there imv.

Nice little race at 5.48 this evening with 5 runners.But IMPOSSIBLE to have a bet on it as this creature has a runner. Good luck to anyone who foolishly plays.

can you imagine the RTV production meeting (if they actually have one) prior to racing today...

right guys...

Charles Byrnes...

who wants to talk about what happened at Gowran Park yesterday ?

Kev ?

Fran ?

Gary ?

Lisa ?

Jane ?

Don ?

ok let's just ignore it and hope the mug viewers didn't notice it yesterday.

he does have the odd leg in horse/s with Gordon Elliot hulk...

so i reckon the chances of him saying owt are pretty remote imv.

and RTV / ATR are well aware of that.

when does Walsh say a horse was given an easy time of it ?

i've pointed out a few horses that were not exactly over-exerted and i'm pretty sure he was on at the time...

said nowt...

one of them was a Denis O'Regan horse at Naas i think..

i put a thread up about it...

you couldn't fail to miss it...

he did...

and he was on with Gary at the time.

White and Blue striped colours i seem to recall...

went on to win at Cork off the top of my head.

'you couldnt fail to miss it'?

and he missed it. he didnt fail
