BHA response to Hughes ban
does not bode well for Dwyer
Pic
Martin Dwyer: BHA is unlikely to apply it's own judgement on his ride in India
"WHAT
I've been musing about is whether or not Martin Dwyer will be required to serve
the eight month ban imposed by the Royal Western India Turf Club, so I'm afraid
there won't be many jokes. On the other hand, there won't be any tips either.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Does it?
EQUUS ZONE PERSPECTIVE
GLOBAL HORSERACING RULES
This is a key massive area, left ignored for a very
long time.
see below Tuesday August 20th 2013
"Dwyer
was deemed (accused and sentenced unjustly) to have failed to ride Ice Age on her merits (2 month punishment ban) when the 6-4 favourite
finished a close third at Mahalaxmi racecourse in Mumbai on February 17. ( a two month ban, since uped to an
unjust fraudulent 8 month punishment ban) You can watch a replay of the race, won by Prize Fighter, by visiting rwitc.com Since February 17th to date, over these last 6 months Martin Dwyer has been subjected to horrendous libel and slander banded about as set out in the ban punishments by the British Horseracing Authority and the Royal Western India Turf Club, also involving likely automatic reciprical bans from other horseracing countries.
CH4 Morning Line on Saturday showed this race live to viewers. As well as CH4 Tom Lee's value as a language interpreter moved mountains this day.

CH4 Morning Line on Saturday showed this race live to viewers. As well as CH4 Tom Lee's value as a language interpreter moved mountains this day.
Dwyer could not ride Ice Age on her merits because she was suffering
in the process of bursting a blood vessel, she may well have felt she was going
to die. Feeling like that could well have frightened her. It is when racehorses
are put under pressure in the closing stages of a race they are most prone to
burst blood vessels. There is a medication available, but the BHA don't allow
that to be used.
"With
racegoers rioting, the stewards bizarrely declared Ice Age a non-runner with
all bets on her refunded. Dwyer was later banned for 56 days = (two months) and, when he appealed
and the case was referred back to the stewards, they increased the penalty. To 8 months. The stewards lied to defuse the angry situation. Hiding the truth from all punters. That the Indian Stewards declared Ice Age a non-runner .... was the best they could come up with being bloodhorse illiterate themselves.
"Our
attention tends to focus on the merit of the stewards. original decision but,
disturbingly, Dwyer's case may, in the end, not be decided on its merits. The key true facts are all bloodhorse literate Equus Zone true facts.
"Was
Ice Age a non - trier? No. Ice Age was experiencing the frightening symptoms that accompany
bursting a blood vessel. Most British observers, including myself, will take the
view the problem was not Dwyer's state of mind but the fact that, in the
closing stages, having first hung left, Ice Age, who was reported to have bled,
then hung violently right, colliding with the horses on her inside. Ice Age's unusual behaviour was caused by the pain she was experiencing and the symptoms burdened upon her as she was suffering a bleed. There was nothing that Dwyer could have done about any of it. Other than sit and suffer with her, for her. Racehorses are not machines they are flesh and blood the same as we are.
Dwyer
switched his whip in appropriate fashion but things happened too quickly for
effective evasive action. Not everyone, and certainly not the RWITC stewards,
will share that opinion. With respect this has everything to do with the Rules of a Sport. The Global Sport of Horseracing. And nothing to do with different opinions. It is about establishing what the True Rules of Global Horseracing are. The number 1 priority rule to keep this sport safe. Safe for the horses themselves. Safe for the people who work with the horses every day. Safe for all global horses and horsemen. Safe for all punters who have an absolute right to know and to understand what the True Rules of Global Horseracing are.
"Dwyer
might be successful in his final appeal to the RWITC's board of appeal, but
what if he isn't?
The British Horseracing Authority and the
Royal Western India Turf Club are effectively announcing to the world that
Dwyer is a dishonest person. They are trashing and condemning his name, they are
trashing his career and threatening to destroy his livelihood and his very existance, including that
of his family. An unacceptible evil and Corrupt Act.
"Although
there is an established system for the international reciprocation of penalties imposed by other racing
authorities, the BHA is not obliged to enforce Dwyer's ban in Britain, but its
ruling when Richard Hughes applied for a 50-day ban imposed by the RWITC not to
be reciprocated is instructive, and discouraging.
RECIPRICAL JOIN UP RIGHTS?
How can any country in this case India
"The
BHA's disciplinary panel ruled that reciprocal enforcement could not,
therefore, be granted under article 10.
"Yet
it still rejected Hughes's application. That was because reciprocation is also
provided for under the BHS's own rules.
"Rule
(A) 69.I "applies where a jockey ... has been suspended by a recognised racing authority" . Rule (A) 69.2 states
that "The jockey ... must not ride in any race on any day when such such
suspension is effective" .
"However,
under Rule (A) 69.3, the BHA "may, on application of a jockey ... direct
that paragraph 69.2 shall not apply to him" . Before making an
application, the jockey must first exhaust all available appeal procedures,
which is what Dwyer is doing.
"The
BHA does not provide written guidance on how its discretionary power should be
exercised, so the disciplinary panel found itself in unfamiliar territory.
Having pondered the principles to be applied, the panel decided it
should consider "the interest of effective regulation in sport,
both here and in India
"On
the face of it, that sounds promising for Dwyer, but Hughes's case was deemed
not to meet the test and Dwyer faces a more difficult task than many might
imagine. The disciplinary panel made it clear, and Hughes's legal
representative accepted, that it was not appropriate for the panel to stage
"a rehearing of whether Hughes was in breach of the RWITC rule in
question" or to "substitute its judgement for that of the RWITC
stewards and board of appeal" .
"In
Dwyer's case, many observers will expect the BHA to treat the RWITC's
decision as unjustified by the facts
and/or perverse but, even if it emerges that the only evidence considered by the
RWITC was that of a video recording of the race, the BHA is likely to
steer clear of making and applying its
own judgement on the incident. That would set a potentially dangerous precedent.
"The
precedent set by the disciplinary panel in Hughes's case makes it likely the
BHA will take the view that the RWITC
interpretation of events, and the penalty imposed, do not qualify as
perverse, nor a breach of national justice. There is a real danger of a
miscarriage of justice. "
What would happen to the global sport of Cricket if the Cricket punters were allowed to change the rules of Cricket to suit themselves every day? How would the Cricketers know how to play? How are British jockeys expected to know how to ride competing in Britain? Or in other countries?

The First Qipco British Champions Day Ascot
October 15th 2011
The BHA, acting on the world stage of global horseracing this day. The day
when the BHA's New Bloodhorse Illiterate British Whip Rules hit Global
Horseracing and Christophe Soumillon (FR) like a thunder bolt from the blue.
Enter the British Political System. Enter the British Banking
System. Enter the British Legal Justice System. Enter the National Health and
the Medical Profession beaurocracy that would choke you to death. Enter the British Horseracing Authority. What
do you find? At the top table they are all tarred with their same secret brush.
They are all clinging to the cruel past, not the cruel past of last year, not
the cruel past of a decade ago, Not the cruel past of a century ago. Not the
cruel past of two centuries ago. But the secret shocking and ancient cruel
practice that has thread its evil way through Britian's social structure since
the doomsday book.

EQUUS PERSPECTIVE GLOBAL HORSERACING RULES
In October 2011 a British Bloodhorse Illiterate New Whip Ruling was added to the British Rules of Horseracing lurched into action by the BHA added to the present rules only days before the very first Qipco British Champions Day. Bloodhorse Illiterate Whip Rules that have remained there since over the last two years. Since, how are jockeys to interpret this bloodhorse illiterate ruling?
The BHA's timing of adding - entering their new whip rules highly significant.
The BHA's choice of personnel put on to tackle the BHA Review of Whip Rules.

QUESTION FROM GRAHAM HUDSON
"Will we ever see a horse repeat the performances of
Spindrifter, who won 13 races as a
two-year-old? How did you keep him sound and
in good heart for so long a campaign?
Sir Mark "He was a tremendous horse, he
made training look easy, and no horse will repeat what he did - or what Provideo
and Timeless Times did for Bill O'Gorman a few years later - because the racing
program has changed. In those days (1980)
there was lots of conditions races, especially ones for horses who
hadn't won a race worth £2,500. I had to be clever and not win big pot, but
earlier that year I asked his owner Graeme Waters whether he'd like a crack at
something like the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot or would rather win a
lot of races.
"He said he'd rather win a lot of races. Spindrifter trained
himself really, he was a very hardy horse but one of relatively limited ability
and his campaign just showed what careful placing could do-I exploited what he
was good at, which was the ability to handle firm ground and to run frequently.

Frances Crowley
A daughter of the immensely shrewd racehorse trainer, Joe Crowley, Frances Crowley was always likely to follow in her fathers footsteps. Before embarking on her current career as a trainer,Frances enjoyed a highly successful career as a jockey, riding a total of 71 winners. In fact,Frances was the first ever woman to be crowned Irish Champion Amateur Rider, a feat she achieved in both 1995 and 1996. Then, in 1998,Crowley made her conversion to the training ranks when taking over the stables that had been occupied by her sister, Anne Marie and her husband Aidan O’Brien, in Piltown, Co Kilkenny. So seamless was this transition that in her first year in her profession, she saddled no less than 42 winners which saw her finish third in the trainers’ championship.
Aidan Patrick O'Brien (born 16 October 1969 in County Wexford, Ireland)[1] is an Irish horse racing trainer. Since 1996, he has been the private trainer at Ballydoyle Stables near Cashel in County Tipperary for John Magnier and his Coolmore Stud associates.

PAUL BITTAR (BHA) TALKS TO NICK LUCK (CH4)
(Wednesday August 21 2013 York Ebor)
THE HOT TOPIC of the muddled confusion within the Rules of British and Global Horseracing where top jockeys (Group 1) are not getting a fair deal from British Regulation, or Global Horseracing Regulation either at home or abroad.
But no Paul Bittar thinks differently and is as far removed from
the Equus Domain as it is possible for anyone to be. Bittar shows that he has and is accepting
considerable financial reward each and every day for not knowing what he is
talking about, he declared live that:
The BHA British Rules of
Horseracing are:
1. Driven by punters
2. Are punter friendly
3. Are there for BHA to choose, decide the winner
4. Are there to protect the winner
5. Are there to protect the punter
Unbelievable.
Nick Luck says he sees the
British Rules of horseracing out on the racetracks getting messier and rougher
every day.
Jim
Mc Grath says he sees there are no uniform Global Rules of horseracing bar an
attempt to harmonise ......
Graham
Cunningham sees the British Rule of Horseracing as bending over backwards to
protect the sinner.
IN
every case the rights and needs of the horses are being badly ignored. As was
so vividly portrayed and so starkly evident in India
What would happen to the global sport of Tennis if the Tennis punters were allowed to change the rules of Tennis to suit themselves every day?
Tennis rules are in place the same worldwide to ensure fair play
out on the actual tennis court throughout each match played their.
Horseracing Rules in the Equus Domain need to be in place
worldwide to ensure fair play for the horses and their riders out on the actual
racetrack throughout each race run their every day. Punters don't ride. But they all need to be allowed to know and to understand what the true global bloodhorse literate horseracing rules are. Vital for every wager they consider.
