THESE
BRAVE CHASERS AND THEIR RIDERS a totally different perspective from the Flat or even Hurdle
racing. The duel partnership and concentration between horse and rider in these
steeplechases involving 22 big fences or more, jumped at racing pace as
Harvey Smith, John Francome, Zara Phillips and Graham Lee know so well is all down to spot on accuracy
between horse and rider concentration, give a little here ... take a little there, superfine balance and timing the key thread of accuracy behind any and every success. An incredible work of art achievement between horse and rider.
As does Jonjo O'Neill and AP McCoy
Have
you ever been blinded by the sun when driving your car?
How
many racehorses are getting blinded by the sun in races at Cheltenham ?
How
many racehorses have lost their lives racing at Cheltenham
through being blinded by the sun?
All fences and hurdles likely to be effected this way must

"Have a laugh and come up
with a funny title for a book
Pic: Knockara Beau:
Can he
finally win at Cheltenham at the 14th attempt?
"Good
news. First, its Cheltenham today and, second,
this week there's a competition, with a prize. I'm not sure what the prize is
yet but I hope to have decided by the time you reach the end (if you ever do).
"It's
a long time since the Cheltenham Festival and I can't remember whether it's the
third-last fence or the second-last where the horse I've backed usually
blunders. It's that down hill one which isn't as tricky as it used to be but is
still a bit tricky, particularly for anything with four legs , a long stride
and a small brain. Whoever's riding the one I've backed, can you please try not
to fall off? Thank you.
"The
Paddy Power Gold Cup (nee Mackeson Gold Cup, nee Murphy's Gold Cup, nee Thomas
Pink Gold Cup) has been won by some tremendous horses and brings back a lot of
memories. I won't recall them because that's the sort of thing that puts people
off visiting relatives in old people's homes .
"It's
interesting to note that David Pipe still needs to win seven more Paddy Powers before
matching his father's record. Great
Endeavour was a good start two years ago, but Pipe does need Ballynagour
to win today to get the ball rolling (Rolling Ball never ran in what was then
the Mackeson but in 1991 Martin Pipe won what was then the Sun Alliance Chase
with him, David needs to win two of those to match his father.)
"What
will win the big race? I've no idea. As races sponsored by bookmakers tend to
be, it's a fiendishly difficult handicap, albeit a fascinating and high - class
one. It's a race to savour rather than bet on, which is like admiring a
beautiful women while resisting the urge to kiss her. Still, she'd only slap
you and we know what would happen to the bet.
"The
Paddy Power is engaging but so is the previous race, the Murphy Group Handicap
Chase over almost three and a half miles featuring one of my favourite horses.
Knockara Beau is the salt of the earth, equine division, and even though George Charlton's stalwart has never won at Cheltenham in 13 visits, he's got a great record at the
track. The colours are rather nice too.
"
Knockara Beau has finished in the first four eight times at Cheltenham
in a string of good races, including the 2010 RSA Chase, when he was fourth.
"In
2012 he ran in the Gold Cup and finished
a respectable sixth. Last month, back from his summer holidays, he won a
staying Chase he won a staying Chase at Kelso, the tenth win of his splendid
career.
"Nine
of those ten successes have been achieved with Czech jockey Jan Faltejsek in
the saddle, Faltejsek who once worked for Charlton but is now based in France,
recently won the Velka Pardubicka for the second year running on Orphee Des
Blins. Today he is back to renew his partnership with Knockara Beau.
"It would be wonderful if they
won. Of course, Knockara Beau won't win, for
various bucket-of-cold-water reasons, including his advancing age, non-receding
handicap rating and the strength of the opposition. Yes. but if he didn't win ...
"Now
to the competition. The prize is a copy of Jamie Reid's excellent book Doped.
which anyone would enjoy, even if they're not a drug addict themselves.
"I'll
throw in a copy of my old book Ringers & Rascals, which some people might
enjoy and will reduce the pile of unwanted copies in my bookcase.
"The
prize will go to whoever comes up with the best title for a book by a racing
figure, one that makes me laugh. To give you an idea, here's my list:
"Ryan
Moore. Mr Chatterbox John McCririck.
Sexism and Ageism: Quiet reflections Clare Balding. How to Relax Joseph
O'Brien. My favourite puddings. Sam Twiston-Davies and Sam Waley-Cohen. Living
with Hyphens John Magnier. Collected Interviews: A leaflet George Baker.
Vertigo Aidan O'Brien. Listen Richard Hannon jnr. Waiting for Godot David Pipe.
At Least I'm Taller Hayley Turner. My body and Other Disasters Richard Johnson.
Second Best Matt Chapman. Always Trying Victoria Beckham and Nick Luck. Posh.
"I'd like to write a
book called Prostate Cancer: Is it a good thing? Yes, yes, yes.
"November
is Movember, when men grow moustaches to draw attention to the disease and
raise funds. At Cheltenham today, Prostate Cancer UK
"We are hoping that someone has an enormous winning bet, as opposed to getting beaten in a photo-finish and going into a tremendous sulk.

Allsorts of Horseracing?
THE GAMBLING GAME that horseracing provides is all about opinion.
Opinions views, prices, false values the lot.
HORSEMENSHIP is about 'Know How' . Knowing how to communicate with a racehorse every step of the way accurately. Passed down from generation to generation, or not as the case maybe. There is far more to horseracing than the part played by jockeys.

Present Life Style
As you may be aware Mr Desmond Cullen is
attempting to live through the trauma of Prostate Cancer. When some days the
pain is hard for him to bare, and he has been feeling like death warmed up,
which effects his mobility and everything else as well .
His situation being that his health fluctuates
from hour to hour, and from day to day.
Desmond is a gentle humble little man,
with a great sense of humour. His home sparsely furnished of scant content and
little comfort, bar the bare necessities.
If that even.
In
Hospital for a few weeks from September 13th to October 3rd home again
Home Environment
Out of Hospital: Came Home on Thursday afternoon October 3rd.
But where are the Doctors?
Surely it is a Doctors' responsibility to
take over when one of their patients returns from hospital. To visit this
patient in his own home within the first 24 hours? And thereafter to visit at
least once a week. to check out how things are progressing or not as the case
maybe?

Carers to call four times every day, to
ensure that some of Mr Cullen's daily
general needs are met. Unable to give specific times. To check to see if he is still alive? To check to see if he is taking his tablets four times a day?
Carers? What sort of Carers?
Minders?
What sort of Minders? Someone who picks up when the medical profession fail, ceases to work. A medical profession who alienates/sacrifices a patient through failed working practices.
EG: A National Health Doctor on say a salary of £100,000 (One hundred thousand pounds a year). That Doctor is being paid for every persons name each and every year on that Doctors registry of patients whether they have need of a Doctor or not in any one year.

Knowing that a Carer is coming in four
times each day boosts confidence in a patient. Especially valued by Mr Cullen.

In an atmosphere of patronising landlord menace together working hand in hand with the financial greed of governments. Who do not know what caring is.
The Injured Jockey's say their hands are tied. Political and Horseracing Government's corrupt working practices do not include any sort of true caring standards whatsoever for either the racehorses or the people who work with the racehorses every day. Even those who have dedicated their lifetime careers to horseracing. Dark Age Evil Government polices still in place, left ongoing over centuries of financial corruption and unhealthy practice.

10 Early Signs of
Prostate Cancer That Often Go Unnoticed
MONDAY NOVEMBER 18th 2013 RACING POST
Bill Barber
Horsemeat call no issue
for racing
(published RP Thursday November 15th 2013)_
(published RP Thursday November 15th 2013)_
THE
debate sparked by the Princess Royal's call for a discussion on whether Britons
should consider eating horsemeat has no
correlation with horseracing, the BHA and RSPCA insisted yesterday
"Roly
Owers, chief executive of World Horse Welfare, which works closely with the BHA
on welfare matters, said the debate was needed. "We're in the grip of an
equine welfare crisis, "he told the BBC. "We go into winter with more
than 7,000 horses at high risk of suffering and needing rescue, so we've got to
look at all options.
"The
RSPCA said it welcomed any debate into the "growing problem" with
horse welfare , although equine consultant David Muir said: "There's no
correlation between the racing industry and the meat industry as such, and I
can't see a correlation between what she said and horseracing at all."
"BHA
spokesman Robin Mounsey said: "Owing to tight controls it's very unlikely
a racehorse would enter the food chain. " Tight controls?
JMC
Turfcall Comment
Typical BHA, Robin
Mounsey backed up by BHA'S RSPCA man David Muir clueless as to the welfare rights and the needs of racehorses and the people who work with the
racehorses every day. BHA Government not fit to regulate British horseracing bury there heads in the sand.
BHA: Mounsey
and Muir ignore the call of Welfare charities. Ignore the fact that 7,000 horses are at risk of neglect and
abandonment every year. Ignore the RSPCA concerned over the struggle to meet the demand
for its help. Ignore the fact that thousands of racehorses every year loose
their lives as found to be surplus to requirements.

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 20th 2013 RACING POST
Did you notice the photograph on
the front page of the Racing Post yesterday ... ?
It looked
like a black and white photograph, but it wasn't.
It showed what looked like a very
ordinary man walking along a desolate but very ordinary railway station platform
carrying a bag with two quite long handles on it, a newspaper carefully tucked into the right
side pocket of what looked like a dark mac, like overcoat buckled up around the
waist neatly. This man looked comfortable in his clothes, walking along briskly,
with a bent on where he was going sort of step.
The text with pic read "The
owner now arriving at platform 1 ...
And in much smaller letters read
... "J P McManus, who made his maiden trip from London
to Plumpton by rail yesterday and greeted his winners of the first two races at
the Sussex
Lets take
a closer look at who JP McManus actually
is.
He loves his horses that's for sure.
This week's ACTION from the Team at Jackdaws Castle
Team (Jonjo) O'Neill
18th November 2013
Two winners and over £100,000 in prize money came our way at The Open. It was a great occasion with Taquin Du Seuil getting home narrowly with AP on Friday and Johns Spirit landing the Paddy Power Gold Cup under a fine ride by Richie McClernon. It’s always brilliant to win one of the top races at
Johns Spirit’s win took us past last season’s total of 90 winners and £690,000 in prize money, an immense achievement by the team at Jackdaws. There is still an awfully long way to go but a few people are beginning to notice we are just as far ahead of the field as we were a month ago.
Another headline of this same
paper, as reported by Graham Green, read:
"Dwyer and Mulrennan shun order to appear
in India
"
Riders will not attend inquiry into CD claims."
