Ronan McNally was not happy about repeated questioning at Southwell but stewards were bound to take an interest
Let’s start with a plea for everyone in racing to be grown up about the need for stewards asking questions. It shouldn’t be necessary but apparently it is because Ronan McNally’s response to an inquiry at Southwell on Monday was to go on Sky Sports Racing and say: “To be honest, I feel like a criminal today.”
McNally wasn’t found in breach of any rule and faces no charge from the British Horseracing Authority. His only complaint was that the stewards asked him questions, so goodness knows how he’s going to feel if he ever finds himself involved in an actual disciplinary inquiry at some stage in his career.
