It can’t have gone unnoticed for keen flat/all weather observers when the Wednesday Kempton decelerations were released today that we have a new trainer to welcome to British racing.
Jaclyn Tyrrell – daughter of Eamon, Casela Park fame.
To complete, I suppose, what you could describe as irony, Vigano, who is declared in the 7f handicap, will run in the Casela Park colours.
Vigano, for what it is worth, is also entered at Wolverhampton on the 4th November. Who can forget Casela Park running at Musselburgh two days after Newcastle?
On June 1st, a day after ‘Jaclyn’ was given a licence, this sentence appeared in the Racing Post.
She was reluctant yesterday to discuss whether her father would be involved in her new operation.
Continue on solving the whip crisis, British Horseracing Authority.
Thanks for pointing this out – it’s good to know that someone is looking out for British racing whilst the BHA do their best to alienate us from the rest of the racing world.
Certainly not a problem.
This raises questions over the BHA’s close links to the Irish Turf Club, and other national racing authorities, when it comes to licensing. £25m annually on integrity and they’re seemingly (for legal reasons) powerless to prevent a disqualified trainer having an involvement in his "daughter’s" operation? Four letters apply to how the BHA should aim to do things – HKJC.
Unfortunately there are some people who are related to some people they wish they weren’t and genuinely want to train in their own right.
Depends on how dumb you are, what you choose to believe.
Must say this kind of thing goes back along way and if the BHA refused people like her a licence they would simply get someone else to take over. No one will sit back and possibly lose their property/business through lack of income.
The only option is to ban the yard from being used as a training operation but that could cause all sort of legal ramifications.
I wouldn’t be so quick as to criticise the BHA in this case. Not as simple as it might seem.
Hurdygurdyman, if it is not as simple as it seems, why do the JRA and HKJC have absolute control over overseas participants in their jurisdictions?
The Irish Turf Club and France Galop both in their wise judgement have allowed Fergal Lynch to ride in their countries. Fergal Lynch is deemed an unfit person according to the BHA.
Simply put: it’s time to rebalance the licence situation for our good friends from Ireland and France. £25m of British money is spent on integrity in British racing. The BHA have enough problems to sort out with those training in Britain judged on the last at Kempton……..
