Winning jockey banned after ‘extremely unusual' incident in controversial finish to Bath race
WINNING jockey Callum Shepherd was banned and demoted after this 'extremely unusual' incident at Bath races. Shepherd and Hector Crouch were battling it out in a thrilling finish to a 1m6f handicap on Monday. Advertisement 2 Callum Shepherd on Captain Brett, against the rail, and Hector Crouch on Iwantmytimewithyou, were involved in a hugely controversial finish 2 Shepherd's arm came off his reins in what the stewards - who later banned him for five days - deemed to be an attempt to 'push away' his rival Going for a gap up the inside, Shepherd looked to be getting the better of his rival on Iwantmytimewithyou. But he was all but helpless to stop Captain Brett shifting to his right and causing a bump to Crouch's mount. In a tight, tough finish, Shepherd is seen taking his right hand off the reins. And it is at this point stewards claimed he 'extended his right arm making contact with Crouch in an apparent attempt to push him away'. Advertisement Stewards immediately moved to reverse the placings and ban Shepherd for five days - a suspension the Racing Post report called 'extremely unusual'. Their report read: "An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after interference inside the final furlong when the winner, CAPTAIN BRETT (IRE), ridden by Callum Shepherd interfered with IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU, placed second, ridden by Hector Crouch. "The Stewards considered that the interference had improved CAPTAIN BRETT (IRE)'s placing as CAPTAIN BRETT (IRE) shifted right-handed making contact with IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU taking the gelding several horse widths off its intended line. "The Stewards considered that IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU had drawn level with CAPTAIN BRETT (IRE) and appeared to be finishing strongly at the time of the interference with the ground and momentum lost as a consequence greater than the distance of a head at the line and therefore revised the placings as follows: 1st IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU, 2nd CAPTAIN BRETT (IRE), 3rd SNEAKY BLINDER (FR), 4th CHERRY COLA.

Horse racing tips: Monday, July 7
Ron Wood's selections NAP: Equity Law (8.00, Ripon) 1pt win @ 5/2 with William Hill ⭐⭐ Other: Iwantmytimewithyou (8.30, Ripon) 1pt win @ 13/2 with William Hill ⭐⭐ Odds provided by William Hill and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a William Hill account and are looking for a new bookmaker to use for this week's racing, check out more free bets from the best betting sites, reviewed by our experts. 8.00, Ripon – Class 4 handicap (5f) The racing is pretty low-key today, so it is not easy to find strong fancies. But for the main play, EQUITY LAW seems to have solid enough claims as tonight's nap. He has a good sprinting pedigree and has been runner-up in similar races to this on two of his previous three starts. Tim Easterby's charge probably does not need to do much more at all to take this, but the hope is that newly fitted blinkers do help him find that little extra. 8.30, Ripon – Class 6 handicap (1m 4f) Colinski won on his recent handicap debut and Grand Harbour is a potential improver now being upped again in trip. But while those two dominate the market, IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU seems to be overlooked and, at the prices, looks worth siding with. The selection was an improved, keeping-on fourth when upped to 1m 2f at Wetherby on his handicap debut last month and the runner-up from that race won next time. Iwantmytimewithyou's dam, Perla Blanca, was a triple winner at up to 2m for the same connections, so there should be more to come from this horse now that he steps up in distance once more. Selection: Iwantmytimewithyou 1pt win @ 13/2 with William Hill Go to site > Today's UK and Irish racing (Flat unless stated) Ayr 1.30-5.15 Worcester (NH) 2.12-5.30 Roscommon (NH) 4.30-8.13 Ripon 6.30-9.00 What does NAP mean? NAP is a word used in betting circles to describe a prediction that a tipster thinks has a particularly strong chance of winning. Many horse racing tipsters pick out a 'NAP of the day', which is their favoured selection from all the races across the different meetings. The term NAP derives from the French card game Napoleon. When players of this game thought they had a particularly strong hand that they would win with, they would shout 'Napoleon'. What is an each-way bet? An each-way bet is a popular type of wager, particularly with horse racing fans. It is essentially two bets, both of which have the same size stake. An each-way bet features one bet on the selection to win and the other bet on the selection to place. So a £10 each-way bet will cost you a total of £20. There will be one £10 bet on the selection to win and another £10 on the selection to place. It's a popular bet because it offers punters the chance of a return, even if the horse in question fails to win. Bookmakers will pay out at a stated percentage of the odds for a place finish, for example one-fifth of the starting price (SP) for finishing in the first three. The more runners there are in a horse race, the more places will be on offer. In races that feature lots of runners, the horses will be available at bigger odds, making an each-way bet a wise choice.
