How do you guys find out things over there?   I see Andrew Castle has been replaced on all 6 rides at Esperance today after riding at Bunbury yesterday. There isn't any reason given any where I have looked, including CRIS and Bunbury Turf Club sites.The official Stewards report will no doubt come out next week sometime but in the meantime, I would like to know how you get your information about such things.

    Riding plenty of winners but keeps knocking them down. Did it again yesterday and from what I'm told he got a month and then he will be sent back to trials.

    Doesn't make any sense. If he got time he would still have to honor the committed rides surely. Or is that different over there as well? Whatever , it would be nice to see something official.

    Normally. But he had just come off a double suspension, and had been warned that if he was charged with careless riding again he would be stood down immediately. His fellow hoops obviously consider him to be dangerous.

    It will be in the stewards report for Bunbury yesterday. It normally takes them a day or two to put it online. I found out from a fellow jock at the track this morning.

    I was hoping to find out where it was previously mentioned that he was on notice of immediate stand down for future acts.

    General: Stewards inquired into the reason for PIGEON POST (Patrick Carbery) having to be steadied passing the 250m. It was established that BULL'S EXPRESS (Andrew Castle) was taken outwards to obtain clear running when insufficiently clear of PIGEON POST resulting in this incident. Apprentice A Castle pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under AR 137(a) and subsequently had his permit to ride in races suspended for a period of 14 days to commence at midnight on Friday, 12 December and to expire at midnight on Friday, 26 December 2014. When assessing the penalty, Stewards took into account Apprentice Castle’s recent poor riding record, his plea of guilty and the level of interference. Due to his recent poor record in relation to careless riding, Apprentice Castle appeared before the Riding Skills Panel on Wednesday, 3 December 2014 and he was placed on notice at this time that any further breaches under this rule in the near future would result in him being stood down from riding in races immediately and that he would be required to complete a number of satisfactory trial rides before consideration would be given to him resuming riding in races. Consequently, the suspension was ordered to take immediate effect from the conclusion of this race meeting and he was relieved of his riding engagements at Esperance on Saturday, 13 December and Pinjarra on Sunday, 14 December 2014.
