REVIEW YESTERDAY'S RESULTS
PREVIEW TODAY'S CARDS
J Margaret Clarke Turfcall Comment
The
curtain comes down on Glorious Goodwood 2013.
Channel
4 Horseracing Team Mastermind Great Coverage every day throughout the week,
bringing fresh insight and interest to the fore on the one hand ..... On the other the fierce winds of change howl around the British Horseracing Authorities Domain. As the evidence of their third seriously out of order Interference Negligence Issues hit the headlines, leaving decades of debris strewn out in its howling wake.
Lee Mottershead: for the Racing Post today.
SKY FALL
Golden Goodwood for
Hughes has grey cloud as Sky Lantern suffers Nassau
" Gosden team on top again as Winsili causes shock."
"Sky Lantern gets nightmare passage as Hughes luck finally runs
out."
JMC: Zara Phillips will know much more about the sport of Rugby than I do.
Yesterday's sad sight to observe SKY LANTERN having her light
extinguished by others. One is left to wonder what sort of a yarn
the BHA can spin on this Nassau Stakes run, over 1m2f at Goodwood looking like a Rugby Scrum of a very different kind. A rugby scrum where racehorses are being used as battering rams to bare the brunt of rough cruel horseracing scrums.

Post Review Report: "SKY LANTERN
"Held up in touch in midfield, closed to track leaders and travelling well
but nowhere to go over 1f out, hampered again soon after, some room and pushed
along inside final furlong, no headway and not given a hard time after7-4 f
"Plenty
of runners, but not a great deal between a whole host of them and, with several
still competitive late on, a few found trouble. The early gallop seemed
reasonable enough, although the leader, Just Pretending, almost took a wrong
turn at around half way, going right as
the rail briefly disappeared, instead of staying straight - a poor mistake from
Seamie Heffernan - before quickly recovering her position. All told, this was
quite a messy race and the form shouldn't be taken too literally
JMC: JUST PRETENDING - SEAMIE
HEFFERNAN almost took the wrong course
when leading the field. Those feeble small yellow cones a poor attempt to mark
the way to go on the racetrack. Not nearly good enough. There needs to be
portable white plastic railings in all places like this in future. All racecourses need to be aware and use portable white plastic railings, to make absolutely clear and safe. Surely this is not to difficult to comply with for safety sake.
RP Review: "There were a couple of superb rides on the first
pair, who were drawn in the top two boxes but were soon tucked in well off the
pace before being produced with sustained challenges out wide, and it was
Winsili, the stronger stayer, who just came out on top.
"The winner (WINSILI) had a bit to find at this level, but
she didn't seem to get 1m4f when fourth in the Ribblesdale and prior to that she'd won a Listed race
over this trip at Newbury on her reappearance. This was only her fifth start and
she found her requisite improvement,
While the form might be a bit muddling , Winsili, is entitled to make further progress."
John Gosden, trainer of WINSILI ; "She doesn't like
being saddled but she has lots of talent. I ran her in the Ribblesdale but she
quite simply didn't stay. She can run in nice mile-and-a-quater races and I
intend to keep her with fillies. She could be a possibility (for the Breeders
Cup), but I'd have to get there a week early and school her in the Santa Anita
paddock."
"SKY LANTERN
travelled strongly (matched at 2
in running) but she 'd been caught a bit wide and was in danger of
getting there too soon, so she was switched inside early in the straight. While
that solved one problem, it created another as the filly had nowhere to go.
It's hard to say where she might have finished with a clear run."
Richard Hughes, rider of SKY LANTERN "I had a good run through and I was
behind the Godolphin filly (SAJJHAA) at the two- furlong pole, but when I went
to edge out round her Mr Buick's horse rolled in and pushed me back on their
heels, I think I was on the best horse in the race. She was coming to win her
race, but that's racing." Is it? Why should it be racing?
JMC: Licensed true world class professional jockeys, (Group 1) need to be
fully aware of what they can, or cannot do on whatever racecourse they are
expected to ride on.
British stewards who block, restrict, and dangerously undermine jockeys, a cruel and evil practice.

Remembering a rare triumph 39 years ago
Pic: FREE DAY AT THE RACES
"GOODWOOD. Right, that's enough of that. Wonderful setting,
charming atmosphere, irritating track, full of draw biases, cambers, blocked
runs and hard luck stories. It's fun to watch but you bet there at your peril.
Anyway, today is the 39 anniversary of a rare triumph at Thirsk, where they are
also racing. It would be shame to overlook that.
"In the (good old) days, the Bradford Telegraph and Argus
ran a cartoon caption competition (right), with a first prize of tickets for
Thirsk, lunch, a Timeform racecard and a £5 bet "provided by Ladbroke's of
London
"In those days, I didn't believe in having lunch when
racing. Lunch was what racegoers insufficiently absorbed in the form and the
horses had, while the properly obsessed had a quick bar of Dairy Milk chocolate
before returning to The Sporting Life or the parade ring. Part of me still
thinks like that, and I'll have a bar of Dairy Milk for old times' sake.
"The Timeform racecard was welcome, as was the free bet,
worth about £45 today. After careful study of the opening seller, worth £706 to
the winner (for students of prize-money, that's equivalent to about £6,000
today), I entrusted my free bet to Carew
Lady, the 4-1 second favourite, trained by Dave Thom and ridden by John
Higgins. I mention them in case anyone as old as me is reading this, probably
with spectacles.
"Carrne Grey, the favourite (Paul Cole, Ernie Johnson), won
by four lengths but hung into and bumped Carew Lady and to my delight the
placings were reversed. Can you imagine that happening nowadays, when it's de
rigueur for the leader to reduce the room available to a final-furlong
challenger? And four lengths!
"Some names were the same as today. Clive Brittain won the
Ladbroke Thirsk Hunt Cup with Pontam and Dandy Nicholls slipped up on Saloon
Girl in the seller, when riding as an apprentice.
"At Thirsk's early August meeting, the equivalent of today's, Nicholls, carrying 7st7lb (!)
partnered Carne Gray in the John Bell Memorial Handicap. Today, there's the
Peter Bell Memorial Handicap. I wonder if the Bells were related?
"The Racing Post's own Tom O'Ryan was riding as an
apprentice, as were current trainers Paul D'Arcy and Michael Wigham. Major Michael Wyatt, an owner then as now, won
the nursery with Material but current
trainers Nicky Henderson, Nicky Richards and
Nigel Tinkler all failed to win the amateur riders' race.
"GOODWOOD'S Saturday card was less familiar. The Nassau
Stakes, then a Group 2 race confined to three-year-olds, attracted only four
runners, probably because the going was officially firm. Can you imagine that
being allowed to happen nowadays? Watering cans weren't what they are now.
"There was no Stewards' Cup because that had been run on the
Tuesday, when Red Alert (trainer Dermot Weld, jockey Johnny Roe) won the race
for the splendidly named Bertram R.
Firestone, who should have been a character from a Marx Brothers film, alongside
Rufus T. Firefly and Otis B. Driftwood, but was an American property developer,
who is still racing horses in the US.
"The Stewards' Cup was worth £8,563 to the winner,
equivalent to about £73,200 today, when the victor will receive £62,250. That
day in 1974 Weld, of course, also had a winner at Galway .
"Nostalgia, an ache for a misremembered past, is horribly
seductive. I hope the recently established
Centre for Ageing Better (I'm not kidding) does something to encourage
us to look forward to today's Robins Farm Racing Stewards' Cup (Heritage
Handicap) (Class 2) instead of back 39 years, to the Crown Plus Two Apprentice
Championship Maiden Stakes at Thirsk.
"O'Ryan finished fourth on Jill Owens, trained by Michael
Stoute, who was a commoner in those days. Stephen Hives, who I used to think
was pretty good, won , on Pikey for trainer Willie Stephenson. I expect Hives
was given a few pots of paint and perhaps a roll of wallpaper.
"But I digress. It's amazing how wrong you (by which I mean
me) can be. Last Saturday I picked four for Ascot 's
ladies race. Graphic, ridiculously short at 9-4, finished fourth of 15; Mambo
Spirit, after a poor start, finished 12th; Seattle Drive and See The Storm,
both of whom I expected to finish towards the front, finished towards the rear,
in 13thand 14th places.
Luckily, I don't have an opinion on the Stewards' Cup except
that, for betting purposes, you'd be better off studying maiden races for older
horses. On the other hand, there is one thing I know about the Stewards' Cup
that I bet you don't know. After Richard Hughes and Ryan Moore, which rider in
today's race has the highest strike-rate this season? It's Rosie Jessop, with
eight winners from 39 rides."
J Margaret Clarke Turfcall Comment. Wednesday August 7th
The 3rd Significant Interference Issue within the last month that put a stop to
SKY LANTERN and RICHARD HUGHES chances of winning the Nassau Stakes on Saturday at Goodwood (03.08.13). Backed down to start the 7-4 favourite. What did the punters who had made SKY LANTERN favourite have to say about this interference? Pay back time for Richard Hughes? How many times has Richard Hughes stopped William Buick, or any other riders in the past and got away with it? Due to the fact that the BHA stewards turn a blind eye to "All Interference Of All Sorts. " These BHA Regulators are out of tune with all of these highly dangerous Interference Issues. Interference Issues that cause deaths and serious injuries in races, on the racetracks.
Racing Post Review of this Feature race won by WINSILI-WILLIAM BUICK trainer John Gosden 20-1. As follows:
5th SKY LANTERN (IRE) 3 8-11 partner RICHARD HUGHES trainer R Hannon.
"held up in touch in midfield, closed to track leaders and travelling well but nowhere to go over 1f out, hampered 1f out, badly hampered again soon after, some room and pushed along inside final furlong, no headway and not given a hard time after. "

BRS Graduate
Rosie Jessop is apprentice to Sir Mark Prescott and has been since March 2008,
having already worked for him for 3 years. This patience paid off as her first
ride resulted in a winner; Boundless Prospect, trained by Ms Gay Kellaway won
by 2½ lengths in March 2008.
Rosie has been
riding since a very young age, and competed at dressage, show jumping and cross
country, but it was at the BRS in 2005 that she learnt to ride racehorses.
To date Rosie
hasn't ridden any big race winners but is confident that this will happen, and
her aims for the future? To ride out her claim and be a very successful jockey.
Mark Prescott
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation,

Sir Mark Prescott, 3rd Baronet (born 1948) is a race horse
trainer with over 1300 winners to his name.[1] An English
baronet
he inherited his knighthood
from his father and obtained his first trainers license in 1970.[2]
Biography[edit]
The son of a theatre
and art critic for Punch magazine,[3] the young Prescott broke
his back in a riding accident in 1965 resulting in a 9 month stay at Oswestry
Orthopedic
Hospital.[4]
On 1 September 2009 Prescott and television cook Clarissa Dickson-Wright received an absolute discharge from Scarborough Magistrates Court after
pleading guilty to hare coursing whilst attending an event organized by Yorkshire
Greyhound
Field Trialling Club in March 2007.[5]
Sir Mark trains at the Newmarket yard, Heath House (which
traces back to Tregonwell Frampton, England 's first professional race horse
trainer). He took over running the yard in 1970 on the retirement of Jack Waugh, to whom Sir Mark
was assistant. Sir Mark is well known and hugely respected as a patient
trainer, whose horses are given time and not rushed. Sir Mark is also a
famously skilled 'placer' of horses, choosing horse's races very carefully. He
formerly had a decades-long association with veteran jockey George
Duffield - the pair shared probably the sport's longest and
strongest jockey/trainer alliance. Since George
Duffield's retirement, Sir Mark has largely used riders Seb Sanders,
Stevie Donohoe and Rosie Jessop.

Pope
Francis on Young People
"There
is no doubt that World Youth Day in Brazil
"He
felt that it was an "injustice" to regard young people as if they
were a group separate from the rest of society. In respect of their being the
future of society, it was also important to recognise that "they're not
the only future. The elderly are as well, because they have the wisdom of
life". He made it clear to journalists that we do not help Catholic youth
by treating them as a special, exclusive group. "They belong to a family,
a country, a culture and faith."
"Young
people, he said, "have a bond with the old". He suggested that the
fate of the elderly is not too different from that of the young in our
"throwaway culture". Both are regarded by many as a nuisance, seeing
them as economically unproductive and more of a burden than a gift. Increasing
youth unemployment, because of economic crisis, is in danger of setting the
young aside alongside the elderly. Perceptive words, worthy of deep reflection
by all peoples and governments worldwide, whatever their age."
"Pope lavishes praise on Brazilians
for warm welcome during World Youth Day"

Francis expressed his gratitude during the traditional
Angelus Sunday blessing. He commented that there were many young people in St.
Peter's Square, saying: "It looks like Rio di Janeiro."
The pope called Brazilians "good people,"
"people with a huge heart" and "a generous people," and
added: "I won't forget the warm welcome."
