MISTERAH LOSES UNBEATEN RECORD




The Marcus Tregoning-trained Misterah, who holds fancy entries in Newbury's Mill Reef Stakes and Newmarket's Cheveley Park Stakes, was stripped of her unbeaten record in today's Dick Poole Fillies' Conditions Stakes, over six furlongs, at Salisbury when the John Dunlop-trained Tashawak beat her by a neck.


The Alhaarth filly had been hugely impressive when making her racecourse debut in a well-contested Newbury maiden on August 17. On that occasion she quickened smartly to lead inside the final two furlongs and held on by a length and a quarter to Pretty Clear.


After that success Tregoning had said: "I'm very pleased given that she was probably not well drawn and didn't jump from the gate too well either. She had to be stoked up a bit and I was also worried that she hit the front plenty early enough, but she looks a very good filly."



SIR JOHN WHEELER TO CHAIR REVIEW GROUP
ON CONFLICTS OF INTEREST



The Jockey Club announced yesterday that the Rt. Hon. Sir John Wheeler, former
Chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, will chair the Review Group
which will be asked to examine potential conflicts of interest within the
activities of the Jockey Club.

Joining him on the Review Group will be two other independent members, Peter
Benson and Adrian Grazebrook, as well as two Jockey Club Members, Lord
Hartington and Nicholas Wrigley.


Sir John Wheeler said: "Racing is a highly important sport and industry
enjoyed by a huge number of people and directly benefits the rural economy,
so I am especially pleased to be invited to be the independent chairman of
this review, the purpose of which is to establish the facts and to make
recommendations."

Christopher Spence, Senior Steward of the Jockey Club said: "I am delighted
that Sir John Wheeler has agreed to chair this important review. We look
forward to receiving the report of the group, all of whom, with their
different qualifications, share an interest in and experience of the racing
industry."

As part of the Review, key industry bodies and other interested parties will
be invited to make submissions to the Review Group.


- Sir John Wheeler served as an MP from 1979 to 1997. Since 1997 he
has been Chairman of the Service Authorities for National Crime Intelligence
Service and the National Crime Squad. From 1979 to 1992 he was a Member and
then Chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee and was responsible for
the 1991 report on the Tote.


- The Hon. Peter Benson FCA is a recently retired partner of
PricewaterhouseCoopers, who has worked closely with the racing industry for
many years.

- Adrian Grazebrook is a solicitor. He is also a Racehorse Owner and a
member of the BHB Race Planning Committee.

- Lord Hartington is a former Senior Steward of the Jockey Club and
was the first Chairman of BHB.

- Nicholas Wrigley is a Director of Rothschilds.

The four activities of the Jockey Club are:

- To regulate horseracing in Great Britain to the highest standards
- Through nominees to BHB, to support the Board's work in the
administration of horseracing in its best interests and developing the sport
- To operate racecourses to high technical standards for the benefit
of racing generally
- To operate first class training facilities
