just as well Donn McClean wasn't there tonight...
he'd have said nowt and hoped nobody noticed ffs. |

By:
she might get a ban for not pulling up also ?

Stop fishing Hibby!!

i'm being serious saxon farm...
i'm sure there's a rule in the UK that says if that sort of thing happens you should pull up... no idea if it's an Irish thing too... probably not tho. |

By:
She told stewards she didnt ride a finish a circuit early and has gone home so pundit at track cant speak to her
|
|
By:
Be interesting to see what the Irish Stewards have to say about the fragrant Rachel when they publish their findings sometime next week!.
|
|
By:
laughable...
how will Brian Hayes get home if she's pi$$ed off in the car ? |
|
By:
She denied it (a circuit too soon) to the media….
Stewards accepted her explanation. ASTONISHING |
|
By:
only quickened for 1f or sew...surely shes never denied it? why she ease up passing the line then
 |
|
By:
Racing Post, for once, pretty unequivocal - Lady Rita might have been unlucky, it is difficult to know. Her chance was compromised by her rider unfortunately riding a finish a circuit early. She was just pushed out to the line and her rider was beginning to pull up when the error was realised. She was quickly back in the race, but that exertion and a bad mistake on the final circuit meant that all of the petrol was used up.
Still waiting for the Irish Stewards Report which will exonerate the Irish Queen. Surely not, even in Ireland. |

She definitely went for it too soon,silly to try and hide it as we all mess up now and again whatever we do for a crust,show me someone who never makes a mistake and I'll show you a liar.
|

By:
If she has denied it then she has made herself look a complete fool. Just admit it.
A long ban should be inevitable. If it isn't the Stewards need replacing. The horse has done well to finish fourth given the horrendous mistake she went on to make which cost another 4-5 lengths. A win in this race would have been a tidy result for connections, and then you have the punters who supported it from 33/1-8/1. Before she rode the finish it couldn't have travelled better. |

Racecourse commentator James Griffin said during the race that Blackmore may have mistaken the winning post but the jockey denied having gone a circuit early when asked immediately after the race.
When in front of the stewards, Blackmore stated she wanted to ensure the race was run at a strong gallop and let her mount stride on after the final hurdle with a circuit to go but Lady Rita became lairy in front, and on realising there was still a long way to go, she allowed the seven-year-old to come back under her. Having viewed the recording and considered the evidence, the stewards informed Blackmore they were not entirely convinced with her explanation but under the provisions of Rule 212A they could not be certain that her misjudgement, if any, had caused her to fail to obtain her best possible placing and therefore took no further action. Only in Ireland and only with Racheal!!!!! |

A room of fools. If they couldn't see something that obvious then there's no hope.

For once differentdrum I agree, but wish sometimes you weren’t such a curmudgeon on these pages!
Have a good weekend. |

The Raceday Stewards interviewed Rachael Blackmore, rider of Lady Rita, trained by Louise G. Lyons, concerning her riding where she appeared to stop riding after reaching the winning post with a circuit to run. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that this animal had a tendency to run inconsistently and was running over a longer trip today for the first time. She added that she wanted to ensure that the race was run at a strong gallop and let her mount stride on after the final hurdle with a circuit to run but the animal got lairy in front and on realising there was still a long way to go, she allowed her to come back under her. Having viewed the recording and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards informed Rachael Blackmore that they were not entirely convinced with her explanation offered but under the provisions of Rule 212A they could not be certain that her misjudgement, if any, had caused her to fail to obtain her best possible placing and therefore took no further action.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So why not make the running in the first place Rachel (Our Darling as jerry hannon once called her) ? absolute piffle from all concerned... RTV will be furious no doubt with Jonny Ward for even mentioning it immediately after the race... i bet they wished Donn McClean was there last night... he'd have ignored it completely and treated the public with complete and utter contempt... which is what Blackmore and the Stewards did last night. |

The Raceday Stewards requested a report from Dermot Anthony McLoughlin, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of The Echo Boy, placed first, as compared with its recent form. James Griffin, Authorised representative of Dermot Anthony McLoughlin reported that the drop back in trip from three miles to two miles three furlongs brought about the improved performance. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards noted the content of the report.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ there's got to be something not right about the racecourse commentator also being there as a trainers representative... i'm not saying anything dodgy was going on but it's just typical of horse racing where folk have got fingers in all sorts of pies which compromises their position to a certain extent... you just have to look at RTV's choice of pundits to see that on a daily basis... ex jockeys / trainers sons or daughters / current jockeys... all very in house. |
|
By:
were not entirely convinced with her explanation
So, basically the stewards weren't sure if she was just lying to them Just exactly why I don't join the jockey 'fanclubs' that seem to exist in racing for some. |
|
By:
if you don't believe a word any owner / trainer or jockey says you won't go far wrong imv.
|
|
By:
so obvious shes mistaken winning post. She looks up @ screen to her right to check shes clear then eases. Load of boll@x shes spouted to save herself a ban.Even stevie wonder spotted it.
|
|
By:
I am a Blackmore follower but to say she did not mistake the the winning post with a lap to go is obviously not right.Anyone watching that race could see she did mistake the post a lap too early,do not understand the stewards decision,bet if that was a little known jockey they would have had a different outcome.

Even the gravy train which is RTV weren't buying it:

Bet the next jock to do this repeats, verbatim, what RB said. What then?
|
|
By:
Callan should have tried it

Put possibly the stewards should be stood down for a period by the hri and made to take refresher course before they are allowed to officiate again.

RP reports "But that is not the end of the matter after the IHRB said on Saturday they are going to delve further into the incident.
Niall Cronin, the IHRB's communications manager, told the Racing Post: "Following the race at Kilbeggan on Friday night, we noted the outcome of the stewards' inquiry into the ride Rachael Blackmore gave to Lady Rita and are now in the process of gathering all relative information surrounding the race and the subsequent inquiry that led to the raceday stewards at Kilbeggan giving the decision they did." |

good

excellent news Manoleeds...
about tbl00dy time these Stewards were looked at just a wee bit closer... far too much of the good old 'noted' stuff going on... it's about time the Stewards didn't just accept all the excuses / reasons under the sun... anyone with a brain (even half a brain) and a pair of eyes (even one eye) knows Blackmore went a circuit early there... hope she gets done not only for the incident itself but for her comments post race... as i said earlier the whole thing shows complete and utter contempt for the public imv. |

Spot on Hibby
|
|
By:
Whatever happens - have they ever got rid of Stewards who blatantly can't do the job - the cheerleaders will still engage overdrive when she officially retires.
|
|
By:
If they do reverse the decision and ban her, then the stewards have to be stood down. Ray Groarke, Tom Rudd, Coleman Sweeny & is it Graham Mccourt
|
|
By:
ridiculous that stewards even interview jockeys - they can see what's happened for themselves
do footy refs ask players before giving decisions? as for Rachel, her ban should be doubled for talking utter carp |
|
By:
i never watch Luck on Sunday but it will be interesting to see if they chat about it on there tbh...
if they don't then it's the biggest bottle job since Newcastle United blew the EPL when they were 12 points clear of Manchester United... evening Kev. |
|
By:
If they do reverse the decision and ban her, then the stewards have to be stood down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- correct cacique... any steward who accepted her explanation should be booted out and never allowed to be a steward ever again imv... it's a hideous scenario quite frankly. |
|
By:
situation appears to have moved on from what happened on the track to what happened in the stewards room.
looks like someone at the IHRB has grown a pair of balls and is prepared to be ostracized in the pursuit of cleaning the whole mess up. |
