    This is the only bit I know of, cannot find anything about the flag situation..

    49. Jump races: directing riders around an obstacle (by-pass procedures)
    49.1 Where

    49.1.1 direction markers have been inserted in an Obstacle to indicate that it is unsafe to jump, or
    49.1.2 direction markers have been inserted in such an Obstacle and at the entrance to an extended lead-in to the Obstacle, and cones have also been deployed at the lead-in,

    a Rider must proceed around the Obstacle as indicated by the direction markers and continue in the race, following the correctly marked course.
    49.2 If a Rider is unable to follow the direction markers, he must pull up.
    49.3 The Stewards may decide not to take Disciplinary Action against a Rider for a contravention of Paragraphs 49.1 or 49.2 if the Rider satisfies them that he had reasonable cause.
    49.4 The horse of a Rider who is found to have contravened Paragraphs 49.1 or 49.2 shall, on an objection to the Stewards under Part 7, be disqualified unless the Stewards consider that extraordinary circumstances justified the Rider in acting as he did, in that

    49.4.1 all Riders remaining in the race took the same course, and
    49.4.2 no Rider obtained an unfair advantage as a result.

    Ouste fell at the final fence and was down on the floor for about 20 minutes before, happily, getting to his feet.

    He is recovering from a operation to one of his hips, which I think he had at the end of November.. (I used to work with his sister-in-law at M. Jarvis’s)

    He won’t be back until the turf season in March

    Racing Post: TRIBUTES to Chris Hoggard, the popular
    proprietor of Malton’s White Rose saddlery
    business who died in his sleep on Thursday
    aged 53, have been led by the town’s
    trainers’ association secretary Noel
    Scaling, who described him as “an
    amazing character”.
    Malton’s racing community has been
    shocked by the sudden death of Hoggard,
    who had run his business in the town
    where he was born for 25 years, along
    with his wife Wendy, herself a master
    saddler.
    Hoggard, a diabetic, suffered various
    health problems for much of his life.
    He underwent two kidney transplants
    and was fitted with a prosthetic limb
    after he lost a foot through problems
    caused by diabetes.
    Scaling said: “Despite everything he’d
    been through, he just got on with life and
    enjoyed it. Although he wasn’t too well
    about six weeks ago, he’d come through
    that and was working the day before
    he died.
    “I found him an amazing character
    who had a tremendous racing knowledge
    and an appreciation of all things Yorkshire,
    especially cricket.
    “He was hugely well known and liked,
    and I’m sure everyone is going to miss
    him terribly.”
    Hoggard, a former apprentice with
    Jimmy Etherington, had gone full circle
    in the last year or two by having a halfshare
    in two horses trained by Jimmy’s
    son Tim Etherington at Wold House,
    where Hoggard had re-sited his saddlery
    business in a redeveloped part of the
    historic yard.
    The Racing Post’s Tom O’Ryan said: “I
    knew ‘Choggy’, as most people called him,
    most of my life. We went to school
    together and went into racing more or
    less together.
    “His enthusiasm for the game never
    waned – he was passionate about it – and
    he had a remarkably positive attitude to
    his illness problems over many years.
    He was a very popular guy and his
    death has come as a huge shock to all.”
    Russ Garritty was another with fond
    memories of Hoggard, who, through
    White Rose Saddlery, sponsored the
    former jockey for 15 years.
    Garritty said: “He was a true gentleman,
    a man of his word, and I will always
    be very grateful for what he did for me.
    Everyone who knew him is going to
    miss him.”
    Funeral arrangements have yet to be
    confirmed

    She is a very talented rider and is from my mothers home town of Berkeley in gloucestershire (hunt with mustard jackets and covers some amazing countryside) She was/is based with Dick Bainbridge and her other half is the assistant to Andrew Balding. Think if my memory serves me right she has been champion lady point to point in country or south west..

    the good news is that she was 2nd…….. well done girl

    He was not put down… he sadly died of a heart attack in the vets box in the stables, his lass told jonjo he was not himself, and the vet was just about to look at him when he laid down and went to sleep, very sad, one horse I have followed, for the last few years…..

    RIP Warrior

    I am very sad to hear this, I have him has a friend on Myspace and we would send each other messages about racing and he was looking towards coming to the UK and was wanting to go to Ascot. We even sent each other postcards from our holidays.

    Love and hugs to all his family and friends
