The Sport Of UK Horse Racing Do you remember the Kenyon report? If you don't let me refresh your memory. Below is a script from Horse Racing In the Uk BBC Sport: Wednesday, 12 June, 2002, 00:05 GMT 01:05 UK
BBC sparks Jockey Club talks Kenyon's report has rocked Uk horse racing. The Jockey Club will have a "long hard think" about the rules of UK horse racing in the aftermath of the BBC's investigation into alleged fixing. The sport was rocked by the Kenyon Confronts programme, entitled "They stop horses, don't they?" and screened on BBC One on Tuesday evening. Have you lost your faith in UK Horse Racing? Kenyon used covert footage to show three UK race horse trainers claiming that horses could be prevented from winning certain races in order to lower handicaps. Posing as a wealthy gambler, Kenyon purchased hurdler Seattle Alley for £4,000 from trainer David Wintle, who was shown to claim that the horse would not run well. During the programme Kenyon said that for certain trainers, "the further down the field the racehorse comes the better. While they are making money out of it, the losers are you and I, the betting public." "In covert interviews recorded with Wintle and two other trainers, Ferdy Murphy and Jamie Osborne, he was told about how race horses could be beaten in their races and therefore be set up for future gambles, using tactics including running on unsuitable going and over an inappropriate distance". In the programme, former jockey Jamie Osborne was approached by people purporting to be considering buying a race horse from him. He was quoted as saying he would be prepared to "cheat" and that he knew of an in-house jockey who could be used to that effect. Ferdy Murphy was recorded claiming that £1,600 had been made on the defeat of his horse, Christiansted, at Fakenham in February with bets laid on "betting exchanges"! Kenyon calls this "cheating and fixing" but the Jockey Club maintains that the programme does not show any rules of racing being broken. To see the full report please go to BBC SPORT
