I do think Havlin wasnt to heavy handed on him inside the final furlong but was Shavanksy not also bet form 33s to 20s?<br>Ok obviously it wouldn’t take as much to move the market from 33s as it would from 7/2 to 2s. Madman no offence but you talk a bit like a BF forum regular.
AP<br>A bit rich having a go at mm and suggesting he ignores any questions asked.<br>I remember you stating that every winner of every race was dope tested and suggesting I knew little about racing. I was even given a detailed description of how the test was undertaken (which I was well aware off).<br>Yet you were factually incorrect. You never replied or acknowledged you had misinformed this forum.<br>We are all entitled to give our debatable opinions.  Erroneous facts are a different matter.
The HRA website has now been updated a report of the Stewards Enquiry into Mia’s Boy is Here

I don’t actually expect to get a reply, as your usual mode is to rant with your own special brand of 100% moral certainty and then ignore anyone that asks questions.
But still here goes – unless you are a steward at Chepstow yourself, how do you know that no explanation was requested?

I know schooling in public is against the rules. Is using the racecourse to audition for the chicken tonight ads also frowned upon? Apparently not.
The most amazing aspect of the Shavansky affair yesterday was that no stewards enquiry was immediately called. "They" had a "look" later in the day when told about public concern but soon cleared the ride. You’ve got to wonder whether they were even aware that the first two horses were trained by the same person.<br>How out of touch are some stewards? and you’ve got to wonder how many are totally clueless on the subject.<br>While Havlin is a poor jockey (I wouldn’t let him near any horse I owned) did he make sufficient effort to win the race? Not in my eyes and no danger of Havlin breaking any whip rules here. As JG later gave an "excuse" for Havlin being "easy" it beggars belief there was no enquiry.<br>The Chepstow stewards should be appearing at Shaftesbury Avenue.

<br>Just going on what I heard on ATR, AP
"But still here goes – unless you are a steward at Chepstow yourself, how do you know that no explanation was requested"
From what I was told at Chester yesterday, the Chepstow stewards did have a look at the race but only after they were approached by a delegate of pressmen.

Most people are under the misapprehension that unless the stewards enquiry announcement is made over the public address, no enquiry is made. In fact this is only true where the result is in question. Many enquiries are heard which the public aren’t aware of, which then get reported on the HRA website which should be in your favourites folder if you’re a serious watcher of racing from a punting perspective. In this case it appears the stewards didn’t call the representatives in but I notice that Bernadette Quinn picked up a 10 day ban at that Chepstow meeting for a ride which caused little comment from punters.
I see Adrian has appealed against his ban (must be keen to ride Taj if she runs on Tuesday).
<br>Mccarthy rides the favourite for Chapple-Hyam in the opening maiden at Newbury today, so racecourse rumours of him being sacked would seem to be off target.

Mia’s Boy now officially declared in the RP today as found to have been lame post race and PCH backs Adrian.
Won readily enough? I thought he made hard enough work of what looked a straightforward opportunity.
