Paddy Twomey admitted that the removal of Rosscarbery (Ger) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) from third place in the Alwasmiyah Pretty Polly S. Sunday after her rider Wayne Lordan, the lighter 5lbs, took away the fact that he had successfully scored his first Group 1. in a race against La Petite Coco (Ire) (Ruler of the World {Ire}).
The coach described himself as “disappointed and upset” when Rosscarbery, which added to Curragh Group 1 at a cost of 30,000 euros to owner Robert Moran, missed out on prize money and valuable black leather due to what he describes as an Irish Equestrian Regulatory Board (IHRB).
Twomey believes the finger of blame points to the weight seller, who according to the trainer told Lordan he was 5 pounds too heavy when weighed.
As a result, the 5-pound weight was removed from the saddle fabric, and Twomey believes it was the saddle that Lordan weighed that made it back into the weight room after Rosscarbery’s career best run to third behind his good friend. her determination.
Twomey told TDN Europe on Monday, “I am very disappointed and upset about Rosscarbery being disqualified for third place in Group 1. She is an upstart and what happened the other day. it’s clearly the fault on the part of the secretary of the scales. I am very upset about it.
“I enjoyed my first Group 1 win but all I could think about for three or four hours afterwards was losing third in Group 1. It was mentioned IHRB and that was it. is the latest.”
He added, “Robert was very athletic in adding the error and she justified that decision by finishing third. Through no fault of the scum, the owner, the trainer, or the charioteer, she didn’t stand a chance of getting the bonus or Group 1 blacks she deserved.
“He spent 30,000 euros running this dirty game and never had a chance to get it back due to the error of the weighing staff.”
Just last month, Moran, speaking privately with TDN Europe, revealed that he plans to repackage his owned car in Ireland after some bad experiences that demoralized him to racing.
Although Moran could not be reached on Monday, Twomey explained how the American boss never had a chance to recoup the 30,000 euros spent running Rosscarbery on Sunday, which brings with it the burden of the Disappointed in the camp.
Twomey said, “We spoke to Limerick a few weeks ago and I told him [Moran] which I was thinking of adding. I changed my mind last Tuesday morning but, at two minutes to twelve [the latest supplementary stage]I brought her in.
“I called Robert at 12pm to tell him I spent 30,000 euros to replenish the dirty money. He said, “it’s okay”, so having Robert get kicked out without a chance to get that money back is what really upsets me. “
Had Rosscarbery not been disqualified, she would have been able to cover the cost of running at Pretty Polly, with an offer of 30,000 euros for third place. Instead, Thunder Kiss (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) coached by Ger Lyons won third place and black category while Rosscarbery walked away empty-handed.
Niall Cronin, IHRB’s director of communications, would not be available for comment further on Monday.
Speaking shortly after Sunday’s race, he said, “Wayne Lordan weighed 138.1lbs and weighed back 133.5lbs.
“As a result there was an investigation into the third-placed horse’s weighing procedure. According to rule 231, part 1, the horse must be disqualified. Management has referred the matter for further investigation. Mr. Twomey is aware of that. “
Due to the wide split where disqualification must affect Rosscarbery’s residual value as a foster carer, TDN Europe understands that Twomey and Moran are ready to pursue legal options if they do not. restored as the third home team in Group 1 on Sunday.
Talking about future plans for Rosscarbery, and what it means to achieve a breakthrough Group 1 achievement with La Petite Coco, Twomey said, “We know that 1m2f is a bit on the sharp side for Rosscarbery and she will even is even better than 1m4f and should even get 1m6f.
“She has proven that she belongs at Group 1 level and we will have to map out a campaign for the second half of the season now. Hopefully we can win Group 1 with her and all the races Coco can get into, so can she. Products like G1 Champions Fillies & Mares S. at Ascot may also be suitable. She is very flexible. “
He added, “Honestly, I couldn’t see anything that beat La Petite Coco yesterday. When you can’t finish it [first Group 1] For a while, it seemed far-fetched, so it was nice to have that under our belt. “
