Good news for Kirsty Milczarek who has successfully appealed against her 2 year ban (for passing information for reward and being guilty of conniving or conspiring with anyone involved in fraudulent or corrupt practise in relation to racing) and she can re-apply for her license with immediate effect. I have to say I'm gob smacked!
Not because for I believe that:
(a) she was guilty of everything or anything she was accused of
(b) and even if she had been guilty that the charges warranted a two year ban - given that Charlotte Kerton was found guilty of stopping her horse when blatently and hilariously 'air whipping' her ride then receiving a mere 42 day ban.
(c) the severity of Kirsty's punishment was in any way related to the fact that she is romantically involved with Kieren Fallon ..........who played poker regularly at the White Lion in Newmarket .......with James Crickmore .....one of the pair whom the original case was centred around and who was warned off for 14 years.
No no no, I'm amazed because the BHA have (sort of) admitted that they were wrong. Now what about those months of lost earnings.....
On the BHA website, there is a fascinating page "why they ran badly" This is a most informative and entertaining section! For instance, amongst the many "was never travelling"excuses reasons, I have learned that one of my big priced each way fancies on Tuesday, Boris Griegoriev, was reported to have breathing problems. One can suppose that this will be addressed - hopefully with a wind operation rather than a packet of Tunes - and he may do an awful lot better at a big price in a few weeks.
Tomorrow is the first day in a long long time which is purely scheduled flat racing with no jumps in sight.
Barrow Island is back down to a winning mark (that bloke Mark again!) , has a decent draw & pilot and will have come on for his last run in March after six months away from the track.
