Late plans may be costly
The BHA has increased the fine imposed on trainers of horses entering the parade ring late for Group and Grade One races.
In last year’s Derby, Aidan O’Brien saddled the first five behind Sea The Stars to claim £504,375 in prize-money, his share of which came minus the £840 that the Epsom stewards fined O’Brien for having his six runners in the parade ring 20 minutes late.
From March 27th connections of any horse that arrives into the parade ring after the time stipulated, will be fined 0.5% of the prize fund for that race for every horse who is late.
Better bring the cheque book Aidan.

Richard Hannon’s stable jockey is currently 12 winners behind current leader Paul Hanagan in the jockeys’ championship, which comes to a conclusion on the 6th [...]

It used to be said that the fittest horse wins the Guineas, the luckiest horse wins the Derby and the best horse wins the St Leger. However, this year’s renewal of the Ladbrokes St Leger, at Doncaster on Saturday, is likely to put even more of a premium of stamina with heavy rain forecast for [...]

As expected Aidan O’Brien won the Group One Tattersalls Millions Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown, for the sixth time, but not with the horse that he was expected to do so.
