I've always suspected Irish Racing is far from straight with the big stables - Flat and National Hunt - wielding a lot of influence. But, their horseracing governor has shown reluctance and impotence dealing with these behemoths despite repeated and regular occurrences of non-triers and betting market manipulations.

BOTH sides APPEALING the Sentences 'That's 'Irish for you'  Luke Comer doping case set to rumble on after trainer and regulator lodge appeals against original verdict]/b] The Luke Comer doping case looks nowhere near to being resolved after the trainer and the regulator both lodged appeals against the findings of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's referrals committee to suspend the trainer's licence for three years and hit him with €840,754 in fines and costs. ]b# [b]Comer had stated his intention to contest the verdict of a nine-day hearing after 12 of his horses tested positive for anabolic steroids, and the regulator has made the unusual move of challenging the leniency of the sanctions too. Comer had until 5pm on Wednesday to lodge an appeal against the findings and Niall Cronin, communications manager for the IRHB, said: "An appeal has been submitted by Mr Comer against various elements of the decision of the referrals committee." Cronin added the regulator would be doing likewise. He said: "Additionally, the IHRB has lodged an appeal under rule 27(i) (b). The grounds for appeal are undue leniency of the sanctions imposed on the trainer in respect of the multiple breaches of rule 96 and the breach of rule 272 which were found by the referrals committee." Rule 27 deals with the leniency of a sanction, while rule 96 concerns the adverse analytical findings and rule 272 relates to supplying misleading information or false evidence. |

I can't believe there's any cheating in this game. Everything runs pretty much to form and most handicaps result in almost multiple dead heats. Everyone knows that.
