If Asfahrisucan deserved to go, then so did Westlake

PUZZLED as to how Asfahrisucan got tossed out after winning the bumper at Tipperary on Sunday, in contrast to Westlake being left keep a maiden after he scored at Leopardstown on July 4? You’re not the only one.

Asfahrisucan was plced second after beating Life For Rent by a neck. She was found guilty of interference inside the final furlong and winning rider, Susan Leahy, was suspended for seven days for improper riding.

That Ms Leahy’s performance was less than satisfactory is hardly up for discussion. She allowed herself too many glances behind and a look to the left before her partner drifted in that direction was, one assumes, the final nail in the proverbial coffin.
