This one's form had tapered off since his last win at Tipperary but Seanie ( White Collar - Criminal ****) found the going on the Dublin court circuit greatly to his liking as he romped home to win after the judge disqualified all the other runners.
Paradoxically most punters were happy to collect as they had seen this result as a racing certainty despite the animal's appalling form figures.

126-day record for a criminal trial and there'll be a few new villas and yachts in St Tropez owned by some well-connected Dublin professionals as ,guess what, ALL the costs are being paid by the State.
The incompetence of the prosecution was mind numbing. Consider this along with Cliff Taylor's IT piece on public sector pensions - Enda's "pot" for selfless public service is valued at €5m, all paid from current expenditure - and, not for the first time, you wonder what an unequal society we have created. The Irish Racing podcast on ATR jokes about racing's "gravy trainers" - not a patch on official Ireland, even the Shinners came to realise this. |

Presume they will have a stewards inquiry (could be costly).

It begs the question,did they LET him off and why,maybe if he'd been found guilty he'd have exposed something even BIGGER which they couldn't afford!

No conspiracy theories apply. Its just sheer incompetence within the system.
Look at how the Central Bank fiddled while Dublin burned; all those paid off officials with the CS that came to light, some even promoted to Brussels rather than fired. In Ireland, the gamekeepers are incompetent and the poachers are what Arthur Andersen were once upon a time before implosion. The billions lent to Anglo by Irish Life to window dress their balance sheet risked the the pension pots of tens of thousands of small investors. Appalling arrogance and no accountability. |

How in the hell was this the states longest running criminal trial ?? Total farce all round. Lead investigator shredding files in what he calls "a moment of madness". Heads should roll. But suppose we'll end up with a commission of investigation again and nothing will come of it. Question. Has anybody (of significance) been given any jail time over this whole debacle ??
