Anyone else think this is a major cock up by Wetherbys, for anyone who doesnt know this horse won the big race at Wincanton last Saturday, he won by a mile and was clearly the best horse in the race. It turns out this race was for horses who had run 3 times over fences and The Young Master had only run twice before, now that would put him at a disadvantage as he was less experienced but he probably would have carried more weight if he had run 3 times. Now the twist to the story is the entry should have been picked up by Wetherbys but in actual fact it was a Channel 4 viewer who rang in and said the horse wasnt qualified to run in that race.
The trainer Neil Mulholland has been fined £250 but if Wetherbys had done their job this would never have happened, I understand part of the entry fee is for administrative purposes so makes you wonder what Wetherbys actually do, they have not even been reprimanded and no recommendations either, the obvious question is has this happened before and not been picked up.
