SIMON ( Languid) HOLT HORSERACING COMMENTATOR, PRESENTER.
Bloodhorse illiterate. “From the beginning of 1995 Simon was heard regularly, sometimes as
as race commentator but sometimes in the now defunct job of betting and results reader. He replaced Raleigh Gilbert as Channel 4's second commentator, calling the first part of the race at tracks such as Newmarket before handing over to Goode in the grandstand. Goode at that time remained Channel 4's main race commentator, but in the late 1990’s Holt covered more and more races such as the Whitbread Gold Cup and the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown Park.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Holt_(commentator)

HORSERACING A UNIQUE AND REMARKABLE SPORT



PAUSE FOR THOUGHT
J Margaret Clarke for Turfcall
THE JOCKEY CLUB OWNED CHELTENHAM RACECOURSE AND THE RECENT FOUR DAY CENTENARY FESTIVAL MEETING HELD THERE EARLIER THIS MONTH.
COMMENT. PENDING question’s spring to mind regarding the money that the Inland Revenue take out of horseracing, as there cut from the recent Cheltenham Festival and all other racecourses gross profits, leaving Cheltenham with the net amount. So where is this money going to exactly, is anyone allowed to know? What are the government and the Cheltenham racecourse and many other racecourses spending this money on exactly, is anyone allowed to know? Money earned off the backs of other people and their horses is ‘Blood Money.”

IT could be said that the 'Bloodhorse Illiterate' governing MP'S together with the Bloodhorse Illiterate management parties at the Cheltenham racecourse are ripping off the Bloodhorse Literate achievers, eg all the professional Bloodhorse Literate handler rides (What there are left of them) who go to make up the licensed trainers teams. To cheat such professionals by calling them “Grooms” or “Stable Staff” is another misleading rip off practice. This daylight robbery ongoing over decades is rather like calling a Harley Street Specialist , a Cloakroom Attendant.

Young ones just starting out in life are being ripped off big time by greedy governments and greedy racecourses.

We are led to believe that the main aim now for what is termed the British Multi Billion Pound Horseracing Industry is to get the public interested so as when they are allowed some time off from work all their families can have a day out at the races. To allow the Government, the Jockey Club and the British Horseracing Authority to help themselves to even more money. Money earned off the backs of other people and their horses is ‘Blood Money.”

One would have thought that all senior Bloodhorse Literate handler riders working within licensed trainers teams travelling and presenting runners to the public at the recent Cheltenham Festival need true and honest recognition for the part that they play at the dangerous sharp end of racing in getting horses prepared for competition on the track, by way of this Government, the Jockey Club and Cheltenham Racecourse’s  profits a gift gesture to give each and every one a £1,000.00 cheque. That all handler riders working to obtain Bloodhorse Literacy receive £500.00 from the Government along with Cheltenham Racecourse .... The Governments Pay Back Time after decades of abuse.

A few years back the Office of Fair Trading found that the Jockey Club were not legally entitled to regulate and run racing due to the fact that they owned so many of the best racecourses. This is how the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) came into being.

One would have thought that the British Horseracing Authority would not be renewing training licenses,  or granting new training licenses unless the applicant could prove that he/she was Bloodhorse Literate and that he/she could prove that there was to be an acceptable number of top Bloodhorse Literate people employed within their team, inclusive of remuneration to match expertize to be confirmed and paid accordingly.  To ensure safety, at the dangerous sharp end of racing, in each and every licensed trainers establishment. To put an end to exploitation.

At present and throughout the last decades,  all those who work at the dangerous sharp end of horseracing, their rights and needs have not been accounted for properly at all, by Government, by Racecourses, by the Jockey Club or by the present British Horseracing Authority.  No True Bloodhorse Literacy balance within all these 4 departments. The missing link, to the British racing  jigsaw, by its very omission.

In all it has taken us 33 seasons, but now we’re there with a very special horse. And he is so young.”

GRAHAM DENCH REPORTS:
“Late start for O’Brien team as they land in Dubai MEYDAN UPDATE"

JULIAN MUSCAT: “Meydan raid does not signal Coolmore policy shift. MASTER OF HOUNDS will run in dark blue silks at Meydan on Saturday. That will not be the only visual anomaly.

HENRY CECIL EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BROUGH SCOTT (Bloodhorse Literate) REPORTS:
“The master trainer opens up to Racing Journalist of the Year Brough Scott about his hopes and dreams for Classic favourite FRANKEL and the new season. Story, page 3. Interview pages 12-13.”

J.Margaret Clarke for Turfcall responds:
The life and times of  HENRY CECIL a brilliantly talented extraordinary trainer in this day and age where we are in danger of loosing all our true horsemen due to 'Bloodhorse Illiteracy' rampant within the powers that be.

Henry tells Brough Scott  "I like to understand what is happening, all staff  have good and bad points and if you can get the best out of all of them you will be alright. That's why I do my own list  (riding out list) every night or early morning. A head lad may not change a rider because the other lad will get grumpy and give him grief. But if you  keep the wrong person on a highly strung animal the horse is going to go the wrong way. If I think we want a change, I change it. If anyone strikes a horse here, they don't get a warning, they are out straight away, or you get horses soured up. And you have to be careful of people who think they are jockeys and ride horses too fast to find out for themselves. I have really good head staff and have spies in the string . If I hear it is happening I tell them I'm the man who is training the horses."

ANDREW DIETZ REPORTS:
“DUBAI draw woe for TWICE OVER- again. The luck of the draw deserted TWICE OVER for the second year running when the Dubai World Cup favourite was again handed an unfavourable starting berth in his bid to become the British – trained winner of the world’s richest race in 14 years.”


“GODOLPHIN FIREPOWER Latest on the Classic hopes. Horse -by –horse guide”

GRAHAM DENCH REPORTS:
“MAKTOUMS: we’ll shun races that fail to meet tariffs. SHEIKH MOHAMMED yesterday issued a resounding vote of support for the controversial race tariffs introduced in Britain this year – support that could deny his horses a run in a host of top races.” “We will be supporting the tariffs said Simon Crisford, racing manager to the sheikh’s Godolphin operation yesterday.”

JIM (Jimbo) McGRATH

November 2nd 2010: “Jimbo has resigned from the British Horseracing Authority Board as an independent director, saying he is angry and concerned with many of the changes proposed, and due to be implemented , by Racing for Change. The decision brings to an end a five-year stint as an independent director.


In a statement, McGrath said: "After considerable thought, and effective from October 31, (2010) I resigned from my position as one of two independent directors on BHA.


"For more than a year I was tasked by the board of chairing the Racing Committee, which of course deals with much of the minutia of our racing.


"As such, I found myself completely at odds with most of the recommendations and proposed changes affecting the 2011 racing programme, suggested and due to be implemented by RFC.

GUEST STAR DAVID PIPE
David Pipe was born to train racehorses. Son of Martin Pipe CBE, fifteen times champion National Hunt trainer, and the most successful racehorse trainer in British racing history, David fast carved a niche for himself as an extremely successful and talented Point-to-Point trainer. Indeed, during his six seasons as a trainer of Pointers, David amassed no fewer than 164 winners (including 47 Point-to-Points and two Hunter Chases in his final season) – each weekend he seemed to return with a winner!


David talks us through his horses, hopes and fears for next weeks challenges at the Cheltenham Festival.

Channelled his talents...

Since his father’s retirement from training at the end of April 2006, David has channelled his talents towards the Pond House string – a role which has provided a varied, challenging and rewarding role alongside his record-breaking father who now occupies the position of assistant trainer.

Despite his tender years in comparison to his contemporaries, David has amassed a wealth of experience. He has learnt his trade not only from the champion British jumps trainer, but also through experience with some of the world’s other leading handlers including Michael Dickinson in America, Cricquette Head-Maarek in France and Joey Ramsden in South Africa.


Pond House Racing Stables boasts facilities that have pioneered and revolutionised the racing world. The training facilities include the all weather gallop, indoor canter and loose schooling arena, indoor swimming pool, solarium, horse walker and treadmills. We have our very own on site laboratory, with Laboratory Technician and fully qualified Vet on hand to oversee the general care of the horses.

Geraghty, his three years with Henderson, following the retirement of Mick Fitzgerald, has been the most rewarding of Geraghty’s career, and that blend of laid-back County Meath man and slightly hyperactive Old Etonian produces a twinkle of merriment in Geraghty’s eye “I don’t know how we manage to work together really,” he smiles “But that’s what makes him so good as a trainer and so good to work with – it’s his attention to detail, he’s right on top of everything.”
DAVID ASHFORTH “So many people say so many things it’s hard to know what to think. There’s a danger I may have to think for myself.”

“NEWS FOCUS

THE CHANGING SHAPE OF RACING

"Governing body comes out fighting for its betting rights. HOWARD WRIGHT talks to senior BHA figures about their strategy for a new way of funding the sport if the levy system proves unable to change.”

WHAT THEY SAY IN WESTMINSTER

“Culture secretary JEREMY HUNT, to Culture Media and Sport select committee, Oct 2010: “there is no long- term commitment to the levy and we hope to find a way in which we can migrate racing and betting away from the system we have, which I consider to be extremely archaic.”
“Minister for gambling JOHN PENROSE, Common debate, January 2011. ‘The levy system is old fashioned and, if not broken, in the process of breaking. It feels as though it ought to be a normal commercial relationship . The challenge is not whether we accept that premise, but in working out what a normal commercial relationship will look like and how we can get from where we are today to that point, and on a sustainable basis. ....”

TORY MP MATTHEW HANCOCK, Commons debate, January 2011: “We need a system that leaves racing and betting to their commercial future and ensures that racing’s product is appropriately financed and protected. We need a new, fair structure that keeps British racing the best in the world and ensures that those who profit from racing help to pay for racing, so I support a racing right.”

LABOUR MP and former sports minister GERRY SUTCLIFFE, Commons debate, January 2011: “What should the Government’s role be? They should try to get out of the levy and ensure that something is there to take its place. The solution has to be a commercial one. I am moving towards the idea of a sports betting right.”


WEDNESDAY 9th MARCH
“DAWN RUN , STEVE DENNIS relives the epic story of a magical day 25 years ago when the super mare became the first and only horse to clinch the Champion Hurdle and the Gold Cup double.”

The Jackpot millionaire, Exeter racegoer STEVE WHITELEY turns £2 into record £1.45m with first crack at Tote bet.”

£20,000 TO BE WON. Your chance to enter our brilliant festival tipping competition.”

A BIG NOISE GORDON ELLIOT, the up and coming force in the Irish training ranks, talks JONATHAN MULLIN through his powerful festival challenge.”

SWEET MUSIC The schoolboy who’s passion for racing has inspired him into Cheltenham song.”

“RADICAL RESTRUCTURE FOR RACING PLANNED. REPORT BY HOWARD WRIGHT
“BRITISH racing is heading towards a radical restructure under which racecourses hold the commercial power and the BHA lose key responsibilities to a revamped HORSEMEN’S GROUP.

"GOVERNMENT CONCERNS V HORSEMEN’S CONCERNS
 The government, ask  ‘Who are we dealing with?

JMC for Turfcall responds, one of the biggest industries in this country, an industry that governments have taxed and robbed over decades. An industry whose workforce government take for granted.  An industry that is not allowed to provide the young ones just starting out in life with a good career path to follow.

TURFCALL COMMENT
J.Margaret Clarke, questions who act within the Horsemen’s Group? Are they all Bloodhorse Illiterate?

Who are to act in the British Horseracing Authority? Are they all Bloodhorse Illiterate?

Who are to act on the racecourses? Are they all Bloodhorse Illiterate?

DAVID CAMERON AND NICK CLEGG, ASK BRITISH HORSERACING  "WHO ARE WE DEALING WITH HERE?"
BOTH  CAMERON AND CLEGG ARE BLOODHORSE ILLITERATE.  Perhaps this is one of the Key reasons that governments have been robbing all who work at the dangerous sharp end of British horseracing each amd every day, over decades. Taking such people for granted, pushing them well down into goverments pit of poverty, as of no account, assuming such people have no skills.

GOVERNMENT PAY BACK TIME IS LONG OVERDUE ... SURELY GOVERNMENT HAS TO BE RESPONSIBLE  FOR ALL THE YOUNG ONES JUST STARTING OUT IN LIFE WHO WISH TO CHOOSE HORSERACING CAREERS ...? 

THURSDAY 10th MARCH



FRIDAY 11th MARCH
“GIANT AMBITION. He’s ridden festival winners, and now DAVID BRIDGWATER tells ALASTAIR DOWN of his first chance to hit the big time as a trainer with THE GIANT BOLSTER.”

“MURPHY’S NOT BITTER. His season has been ravaged by atrocious weather, but Ferdy Murphy is only looking forward as he bids to continue his happy knack of producing winners at the big meeting.”

“JP’S TOP FIVE the legendary owner and fearless punter reveals the festival successes he most cherishes.”

“A SPLASH OF COLOUR FOR CHELTENHAM, with the ground drying out by the day, Cheltenham yesterday made the decision to start watering the Old course, which is used for the first two days of next week’s big meeting.”
