Ceasen Desist handed race

Published at Oct 17, 2009, 17:46

There was drama in the Saul Beginners Chase as Classic Frontier from the Charles Byrnes stable who was first past the post was then demoted to second place after a Stewards Enquiry with Ceasen Desist being called the eventual winner.

Brian Byrnes who was aboard Classic Frontier came in top of Ceasen Desist which in turn hampered, Dream Honours who finished third and the fourth placed Fairwood Bob

Brian Byrnes is strongly considering appealing the harsh decision.

My Racing Story. Harry Swan

I grew up in Cloughjordan, Co Tipperary and dad was training, so we always had ponies around the home. My mother got me riding first, I started riding small ponies just to get me going over a few jumps. I'd say I was on a horse since I could stand. Then I progressed to a bit of pony club. I remember late evenings doing show jumping competitions after school and really enjoyed it from the start. Then as I got a bit older, I started doing a bit of Tetrathlon - running, riding and swimming - and I went to England on the Irish team for that. I loved it and did loads of it. After that, I started getting into the eventing a good bit. My mother was quite a good eventer when she was younger. I got a nice pony that my sister was meant to ride as I had a pony that got injured. I went to the Pony Europeans (Championships) and everything with him and did loads of internationals with him. It was massive experience and I think eventing is very good for your eye when it comes to jumping. It was a massive help to have done that.
