RacingNewsandprogrammes 11 THE IRISH TIMES Saturday, September 2 , 2017 News Russellcasereflects scrutiny onriders Jockeys spokesman says matter has turned into a two week press-fest Russell faces appeals hearing on Tuesday over striking horse with his fist BRIANOCONNOR The organisation that represents jockeys in Ireland has said the controversy over Davy Russell striking a horse with his fist at Tramore two weeks ago is a reflection of the unparalleled scrutiny riders now deal with. Russell will face an Appeals Body hearing at Turf Club headquarters on Tuesday morning after the decision by racings regulatory body to review the leniency of last weeks Referrals Committee verdict which handed the former champion jockey a caution for his conduct at Tramore. That decision was heavily criticised with contrasts to the seven day ban that flat jockey Shane Foley received in July for striking an unruly mount with his whip before a race - reduced to five days on appeal - widely made. The Secretary of the Irish Jockeys Association said on Friday he fears Russell could face a suspension on Tuesday and that it is the Turf Clubs aim the penalty should be increased. Andrew Coonan added it is the levels of examination jockeys face that is especially troubling to IJA members. There are a mix of views among members in terms of the rights and wrongs of what went on that day at Tramore specifically. But generally speaking they are concerned about the level of scrutiny every time they go out to race. When a rider goes out, he is open to all scrutiny. Everyone at the track, everyone on TV, gets to see, by and large, every ing ever come under that microscope, to the same extent. We often have a situation where decisions are made, nobody can fully understand it but we move on, talk about it a little bit and move on to the next situation. That doesnt happen with jockeys. They make an error, its picked up. Its discussed, its analysed, its considered, and as we see here in these circumstances it drags into a two week press-fest. That is a cause for concern among riders. If it is considered an error is made, and I think Davy was very fair in his evidence, that with hindsight he might have done things differently. But you dont get away with making a mistake if youre a jockey. Youre absolutely open to every view thats out there, he added. movement that he makes. Everything they do is scrutinised. But those who are not a visually obvious to people, the stewards on the day, officials etc, they dont come under the same scrutiny, he said. The riders point of view is that everyone has their opinion, and is entitled to have their opinion, and every journalist will write about it. With this saga, in what ultimately I have to say is not a huge matter in terms of the integrity of racing, and Im not Precedent commenting on what he did, Coonan said he felt the susIm talking about the integrity pension Foley received was exof racing. cessive in comparison to similar type cases and it was those lesser penalties which reflected Davy Russell: the penalty Russell was given Was very fair in last week. his evidence Obviously the Turf Club feel according to the penalty was too light.

Times Form: GLORIOUS LEGEND was rated 67 on the Flat for Ed Walker and looks an interesting recruit to the Willie Mullins yard. He looks an out-and-out stayer and the front-runner could prove tough to peg back if handling hurdles. Skeaping continues to bump into one but will be handed every opportunity if any of these dont perform by Davy Russell, while Successor looks best of the Joseph OBrien-trained duo and has a first-time tongue-tie fitted to aid his cause.

Times Form: Do Na Paisti ran well at Tramore last time out to finish fourth but has to give weight to the field, while former course and distance winner Silverpockets has a long absence to overcome but does look nicely treated. Field Exhibition and Seafield Fox bring some consistent form to the table, but this can go to HUGH DIVOTS.

Times Form: HIGH NELLIE appears to set the standard, albeit a low one, in an event full of horses with plenty to prove on their recent performances with the mare finishing second in two of her last three outings. Become Legend was well beaten on her hurdles debut and will need the first-time hood to make a huge difference to her, while Castle White and Caerleon Kate complete the shortlist.

Times Form: DICOSIMO has been disappointing so far over fences but this is an ideal opportunity for the six-year-old to earn this second victory over the larger obstacles. Ask Nile was not at his best at Galway when last seen but his Killarney success prior to that makes him a player today. A Rated is another who has to be included on the shortlist, while Sharlanda is an improving mare who cannot be ignored. SELECTION: Dicosimo DANGER: Ask Nile 4.55 JOHN CULLEN GRAIN LTD.

Times Form: CROCODILE DUNDEE has hit the cross-bar on his last two outings but can make it third time lucky here and is backed to make the required improvement now stepping up to three miles. Miss Blanche pulled up on the hat-trick bid last time, but can be forgiven that effort and it would be no surprise if she was able to bounce back.
