Thank you Gringo, great tip

the turf club were digging recently

"The Referrals Committee, Sean Barry (in the chair), Philip Caffrey and Robert Dore met in the Turf Club, The Curragh, Co. Kildare on Wednesday, 4th March 2015, to consider whether or not Albert Moriarty, Restricted Trainer, was in breach of any rules as a result of a random stable inspection carried out at his Training Establishment on 20th January 2015 by Turf Club officials Michael O’Donoghue and Nicola O’Connor M.V.B.

During the inspection they found a number of anomalies including that:
i) Canon Law had not been returned out of training;

ii) Canon Law had run at Dundalk on 16th January 2015 in the name of Albert Moriarty despite being owned by Michael Flannery and/or Paddy Merrigan;

In his evidence Albert Moriarty accepted the points made by Michael O’Donoghue. He said while he had a lease from the owners of Canon Law, it had not been registered as he was unaware that a registration was necessary.

Having considered the evidence, the Committee found that Albert Moriarty was in breach of:
i) Rule 148(vi) for failing to return Canon Law out of training. He was fined €130 in respect of this rule breach.

ii) Rule 273(xiii) for allowing Canon Law to run in his name at Dundalk on 9th and 16th January respectively even though they were not his property and there was no lease agreement in place.


The Committee noted that this was a very serious breach of rule which would normally attract a disqualification. However, on the basis that Mr Moriarty did not knowingly set out to mislead anyone and in view of the way he met the case, the Committee imposed a fine of €2,500."


for those that do not know, mr flannery is a lumpy punter cum owner trainer on the flapping circuit and ex jockey merrigan twins with him.

flannery and merrigan are based in the general athlone area, Kelly from the same region, the "new trainer" had no winner in 2014, then this horse pops up and wins today.

1- I wonder who now owns the horse, or is he now officially leased?
2- how long has Kelly had the horse in his care, what is his relationship with flannery or merrigan


congrats if you won with canon law today, the affair stinks to high heavens and anyone wanting a clean playing field would like to see the turf club dig deeper and not drop the ball.

Well done Gringo, stuck him on to my patent as the weakest selection and all 3 came good.
