Squeeky clean this game...:S

Jockey Adam Carter was banned for 10 days over his handling of Faffa in a six-furlong handicap at Wolverhampton on Tuesday evening.

The Tim Easterby-trained three-year-old (7/2) caught the eye when finishing third in a four-runner affair won by Roland.

Profiles

A Carter
Faffa

According to the stewards' report, they "interviewed the rider and the trainer's representative. They also received a report from the Veterinary Officer. The rider stated his instructions were to drop in, to get the gelding to settle as he had run keenly over five furlongs in his previous race.

"He added that having taken a pull on leaving the stalls Faffa was initially outpaced and then tended to run in snatches. He went on to say that whilst he was happy with his position round the final bend, he had been wasting heavily at short notice and after feeling weak in the straight was consequently unable to ride more vigorously and go for his whip. .... Seems a bit weak to me....:

"The trainer's representative confirmed the instructions and conceded that he could have ridden a stronger finish. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race the Stewards found the rider in breach of Rule (B)59.4 and guilty of failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to obtain the best possible placing."

Carter will be banned between February 5-14.

Now go check replays of PE and Bingo park racing and see why there hasnt been an investigation into those results yet

When i watched the race above you can clearly see the boy does not give his mount a ride.... I just found Carters ''excuse'' amusing to be honest...()

Greg any sport where betting and money is involved is going to have its fair share of corruption and deceit , and anyone who believes otherwise is blind :S

if you go to this site RA[/url you can get the replays of the races in PE and Kim - post the links here where you think the rides are suspect - you don't even have to mention a horse or jockey

Mr H , i use the site daily, the point is why the SA racing powers have not had a look?

All sports have their turn cricket, football, cycling, rugby(doping, which from this year they will be testing schoolboys) etc so why not horseracing?

When a stable mate to an odds on shot opens 16/1 and then attracts betting support into 4 or 5/1 and wins then alarm bells must ring...but when it opens 16/1 starts 25/1 and pays R6 a place then only the extreme conspiracy theorists can believe this was a "lurk'...sh!t happens in all sport and some results are inexplicable and unforeseen...or did Man U go no good in injury time to secure a big Soccer 13 payout and did the Proteas lay the 3/10 that was offered about them last night?? looked for the thread suggesting this but couldn't find it...
The Shams have invested heavily in Kim both monetary and their time traveling between PE and Flamingo Park and imo deserve every winner they get even if it isn't the "right" one,what they most certainly don't deserve is to be slated because they had a horse come up on them, anybody who believes that horses will never make fools of us is living in a dream world, amazingly there seem to be some that do and worse still there are some that actually take the time to post there ignorance on the site for all to see...i find this mind boggling..

Titch, who you refering to? nobody mentioned shams! once off results happen, long odds outsider but when its happening every week questions need to be asked

When last was a horse in SA suspended for inconsistent running??
