Note: Prior to 3rd April 2006, the Jockey Club was the regulator of racing, and prior to July 2007 the Horseracing Regulatory Authority performed the same function.
Therefore, some notices from before July 2007 will contain references to the Jockey Club, or HRA.
- Great Yarmouth, 1 May 2012
The Stewards held an enquiry to consider the apparent improvement in form of the winner, NORTHERN TERRITORY (IRE), ridden by Jamie Spencer and trained by Jim Boyle, which had never previously been placed. They interviewed the trainer’s representative who stated that the colt benefited from the heavy ground and having strengthened up over the winter. Having heard his evidence they forwarded his explanation to the British Horseracing Authority so that the previous performances of NORTHERN TERRITORY (IRE) could be reviewed.
The Stewards noted that SHREDDING (IRE), unplaced, had interfered with VEXILLUM (IRE), placed second, just after the three furlong marker, but after viewing a recording of the race they were satisfied that it did not involve a riding offence.
The Stewards held an enquiry after NEGOTIATION (IRE), ridden by Franny Norton, was reluctant to race. They interviewed the rider and the representative of Mr M Quinn, the trainer. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the start, and noting that the gelding had also refused to race at Brighton on 20 October 2011, the Stewards referred NEGOTIATION (IRE)’s behavior to the British Horseracing Authority.

The Stewards considered the apparent improvement in form of the winner, ALONG CAME ROSIE, ridden by Dougie Costello and trained by Andrew Crook, compared with its previous run at Kelso on 2 April where the mare finished unplaced, beaten approximately 47 lengths. They noted the trainer could offer no explanation for the mare’s disappointing run last time, but she appeared to be better suited by the soft, heavy in places ground on this occasion. They ordered ALONG CAME ROSIE to be routine tested.
