Oh dear, maybe the telly presenters won’t be so keen to hand over the mic next time young Tubbs hoves into view.
“The committee was satisfied that McNally had ‘used the racecourse as a training ground and schooled in public with the objective of acquiring a lenient official handicap rating for his horses'”.
Wow, this committee has finally noticed how this sort of thing happens in Ireland?
It will be telling us about the religious preferences of an old man who lives in a city state in Rome next.
Chezza hadn’t realised Irish racing was even regulated – that’s the biggest surprise coming out of this story.

“Wow, this committee has finally noticed how this sort of thing happens in Ireland?”
There were some mentions in that article about lack of reporting to the stewards. I think you’re meant to take the bad look off it by saying something like “The horse never travelled and was unsuited to the Ready Brek he had this morning, as he would have preferred Special K “.
Charles byrnes
Tony Martin
John McConnell
Etc etc etcBe easier to list trainers that don’t do this
Same goes for plenty of UK trainers
Getting a horse well handicapped is how the small trainers make a living
It’s just that Ronan mcnally made it way too obvious at times
“There were some mentions in that article about lack of reporting to the stewards.”
I think it mentioned three separate occasions when slow starts were not reported. Which makes me wonder why it has taken until now for the offenders to be reprimanded.
Told you it looked dodgy:
Cork, they still think they can trick anyone. As a trainer you always look like an idiot if you have a winner backed from 100/1 into 2/1 or so. And they make it even worse be telling us they didn’t know anything about the gamble. Of course not….
Horses are being trained on course daily ….Nothing new it’s just easier to hide in those big Irish fields , years ago one of my dad’s best friends had a young average hurdler , they ran him a couple of times around Kelso/Sedgefield at the back of the fields then put him in a race at Ayr against a Len Lungo odds on shot ….. they filled there pockets a 50s/40s/33s and no horse has been ridden as hard to finish 2nd at 25s …. , they were celebrating harder than the winners …
Still in a state of shock at the discovery Irish racing has a governing body.
Have they all just returned from a 40-year sabbatical?

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Low grade racing is bent, bears continue to make deposits in the woods.
Punting is where the money is, not maidens at Gowran worth two and sixpence.
Apart from Grade 1 races over Jumps and Group 1 races on the Flat, I hardly ever have a bet on Irish racing.
My perception regarding numerous trainers is that they have come to believe they can get away with pretty much anything because no one in officialdom ever seems to bat an eyelid.
This is what makes this ruling such a genuine surprise to me.
Indeed, many of them seem to think the right to cheat is a basic human right.
It’s only marginally better in Britain at the bottom end too, the BHA are no paragons of virtue.
No wonder the emerging generations of punters would rather bet on things like a Premier League football match.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I think the issue here is the stunt McNally pulled was so blatant. How many horses make a mistake like this one did but still arrive at the last pulling double? Even the Irish stewards could not pretend to be blind:
I will repeat the same observation in regard to Ronan McNally that I made about the late Barney Curley when he was alive.
Regardless of whether you believe them to be guilty or not of integrity breaches, one thing is clear to me – if every trainer holding a licence operated exactly the same way they routinely do and did, the game would collapse.
I never had a bet in any race in which Curley had a runner and it’s the same deal with various other trainers curently holding a licence.
Anyone who makes a hero out of trainers who operate this way needs to take a long, hard, look at themselves because it’s not just bookies who get hit when these grubby coups get landed, it’s also every punter who tried to back the winner using a form book.
One such trainer was recently moaning about the weakness of betting markets and how he couldn’t “get a decent bet on” nowadays.
What do you expect, idiot?
Do you think people are going to endlessly open their wallets and pour the contents into a wheelbarrow for you?
I often wish punters would boycott betting on low grade, low integrity, horse racing en masse.
Reduce Levy revenue on them to ZERO.
It’s the only thing that would give the perpetrators – and the weak authorities – the wake-up call it’s beyond time both had.
