I received an interesting answer from a jockey when I asked about the Wexford Fall
- Advertisement -
Punters were rightly stunned and social media went into the melting after a shock without a place on a horse that drove like a ship in Wexford on Wednesday.
Philip Byrnes Redwood Queen flopped – Trained by the old man Charles of the Jockey – in the first 2m1f that claims obstacle.

Although in itself only an extreme example of desperate driving, what many here was angry was that Redwood Queen had driven into gambling from 7-2 to 13-2.
She clearly had the race in the bag when the jockey the ‘side door’ disappeared.
Byrnes runners, more than most other stables, seem to do the best when the money is no longer.
My Saturday nap
A listed winner on comeback from AG OFF, after he had previously walked well in the Gineas 2000 when he was well depicted – everything, including the strong pace, points to a big run here. Back on my tip, simply by clicking on the opportunities above.
For an outsider, the County Limerick Handler runs what the majority would call a ‘gokoutfit’, because all those racing fans would have no evidence of financial transactions.
So when a Byrnes Hardroper drives like a barge, is clearly on the latter and then the jockey falls off, of course many will cry the false game.
Only time will learn if that was the case – because the IHRB launched their full research.
But the chances is that the case will eventually be dropped.
Only money paths can be guilty, and with so much punishing action now on the black market, if someone tried to do something unwanted, they should indeed be very fat to leave a trail.
I did ask a top class Jump rider what they thought of autumn, and their reaction was interesting.
“Real a terrible drive,” they said.
“The horse came out of his hands and he was unbalanced, but who knows if that was enough to fall off?”
They added: “Personally, I don’t think he’s such a good stunt driver. I think if they wanted to throw herself away, it would have looked clearer.
“It’s really hard to throw yourself off a horse. I just don’t think he’s so good.”
Social media are always fascinating on these occasions. People like me – journalists and presenters on TV – usually come in for a barrage of abuse.
The general core is that we don’t tell it as it is’.
In addition, we must ‘have an opinion’ and we will not speak out against the ‘racing family’.
What those on social media actually say is that if we disagree with what they suggest that we are on the so -called ‘Jus Train’.
In this case, what those on social media wanted me to say that a jockey had deliberately fallen from a horse that had taken a walk in the gamble because connections did not want it to win.
They also want me to add that the entire game is corrupt.
To say that the above is fine for most, although technically there would always be a chance that action will be taken against them if the authorities did not find that there was no case to answer.
But if a TV presenter said such things – or someone on writing – they would be in court or for lawyers before you could count to ten.
I know this as a fact.
In my early days of broadcast I was fired for a month for two cases that I stand for today, but which could not be proven.
Does one of that hate the offer on social media to help pay my bills because I had publicly stood up for the gamblers? No, they didn’t.
Being a keyboard fighter is of course a completely different world to broadcast or write in a newspaper.
Social media have given people an opening to express themselves like they have never had before.
But only because the rules of the country seem to do little online, everyone must remember that it is a different world for broadcasters and journalists.
The Wexford incident looked terrible. But was it intentional? I have absolutely no idea.
And at this stage none of you also has some concrete evidence. That’s life.
It is the calmness for the Derby and Royal Ascot this weekend, but a race that I am enthusiastic to view is Saturday Group 3 Betfred John of Gaunt Stakes in Haydock and Live on ITV.
Old favorite audience and Kinross are on the line-up, but it is Alyanaabi who interests me.
He was once depicted for last year’s 2000 Guineas and finally finished fifth behind remarkable speech.
He went for about a mile for Owen Burrows, but his endurance is always open to questions and he returned to the race and distance when scoring on 10 May.
I was impressed then and everything here looks for another daring run with a strong pace insured. Come on, Alyanaabi!
