Stewards Wolves

and not a sniff of a head on

Think runner up may have slightly bumped winner

both at fault guessing wise my end, so surely keeps

Not showing head on due to fall of Fanning.

pre the line i thought it's more the 2nd but the winner holds his own and pushes back, after the line doesn't matter as far as the result

1.01    £15,396.64     Sennockian    £1,470.42

Joe unseated might be the reason although there was a bump ...

looks like 6 of one and half of a dozen of other-sennock probs leans in 1st

The winner came across and bumped the 2nd quite hard about 1F out. This was enough to knock the 2nd out of his stride briefly.
UK Stewards are gin soaked morons which means its a cast iron certainty that the winner keeps it.

not going to take a race from an injured man

love to get inside the head of the person backing the other 2 runners

Runner up was just 2.9 to get the race when I first posted.

Stands

was there any news on fanning?

An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after several incidents of interference in the home straight, involving DR FOSTER, placed second, ridden by Oisin Murphy and the winner, SENNOCKIAN (IRE), ridden by Joe Fanning. The Stewards heard evidence from Murphy and an employee of Charlie Johnston, who represented the trainer’s interests as Fanning has been unavailable due to receiving medical treatment and viewed all recordings of the incidents. After which, it was established that for incident one approximately 1½ furlongs out SENNOCKIAN (IRE) had hung left-handed off the bend bumping DR FOSTER unbalancing that runner. In incident two just after the 1 furlong marker, there had been light contact between SENNOCKIAN (IRE) and DR FOSTER after both runners had contributed by shifting slightly in opposite directions. In incident three, over the concluding stages, it was deemed that DR FOSTER had drifted right-handed under a left-handed drive resulting in it making contact with SENNOCKIAN (IRE), which became unbalanced after having its quarters turned. In incident four, approaching the line, it was found that DR FOSTER continued to edge right-handed under a left-handed drive giving a significant bump to SENNOCKIAN (IRE), which badly unbalanced that runner and led to Fanning being unseated after the line. The Stewards, taking into account the incidents that SENNOCKIAN (IRE) had been responsible for either causing or contributing to, ruled that they had not improved that gelding’s placing and ordered the placings to remain unaltered. Incident one was found to be accidental as SENNOCKIAN (IRE) had hung left-handed despite Fanning’s best efforts to straighten his mount. Incident two, was also found to be accidental as both runners had only moved marginally off their intended racing lines. In relation to incidents three and four, Murphy was suspended for 9 days for careless riding as he had allowed his mount to drift approximately 2 horse widths right-handed away from the whip causing interference to SENNOCKIAN (IRE), before then using the whip again in the left-hand whereupon his mount shifted further right-handed causing interference to SENNOCKIAN (IRE), with Fanning being unseated after the line.

Newmarket-spurs didnt notice this sparra marra.

Nine days as well for Murphy.

and this is what's annoying about the press sparrow...

will any of them come out and say what a shocking bit of riding by Murphy ?

a former champion jockey riding like a 10lb claimer ?

of course they won't...

it's suck up city with the press and 99% of jockeys...

pretty shameful imv.

Joe Fanning avoided serious injury at Wolverhampton on Monday night in a fall that led to fellow rider Oisin Murphy being suspended for nine days for careless riding.

Fanning was unseated from the Charlie Johnston-trained Sennockian just after the winning post in the feature 1m½f handicap and was knocked out in the fall, but was conscious and had feeling in all his limbs when stretchered off the track.

He was taken to New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton as a precaution for scans and returned home with Tim Jarvis, Johnston's travelling manager, in the early hours.

Fanning will consult BHA chief medical adviser Jerry Hill to assess how long he is likely to be out of action.

"I'm not really sure what happened," said Fanning, who is the seventh winning-most jockey in British Flat racing history. "I think we may have bumped after the line and I lost my balance.

"I was concussed and I had scans but they were fine and I got home at about 3am. I'm not sure how long I'll be out for, I need to speak to Jerry today because I was knocked out."

Hope Fanning has a few days off and takes no chances before resuming. He rode a couple of times for me, and he's a really pleasant bloke. Has a good feel for what's under him too.

farcical decision..the 2nd barely moved a yd right...cant see what happened after passed post..fanning says lost his balance..if he hadnt of fell off there would have been no ban.
