crescent girl 1,904 Posted August 15, 2019 If the process goes forward, and the appeal is carefully considered but fails and the suspension reimposed - isn't there a danger it might then affect Craig's availability for the play-offs? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryce 349 Posted August 15, 2019 Whatever the provocation (and there was most definitely provocation) the man threw punches at the very least. if he gets no ban at all while Kennett and Vissing do; it will be a complete mockery of a decision. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Well, that is what has happened. Cook has supplied new evidence & is now free to ride until a full SCB hearing at a date to be set. Vissing has had his rejected so is banned for his full 10 days. Kennett has not submitted an appeal. Edited August 15, 2019 by IronScorpion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having already submitted a written statement I`d be puzzled as to what this new evidence could be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fortythirtyeight 838 Posted August 15, 2019 If previous ruling's by the S.C.B. ( or even the B.S.P.A.) are anything to go by where Glasgow are concerned then Glasgow will come out fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,648 Posted August 15, 2019 Cook riding for mr chapman bspa chairman obviously has nothing to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, the investigation was held by the SCB, you would think any appeal will be heard by them to. If there is new evidence from the Cook side then all well and good, if this is an appeal for convenience just to get Cook riding in important meetings for Glasgow and Kings Lynn then I hope it is treated with the contempt it deserves.

Robbobee 144 Posted August 15, 2019 Well I for one am very pleased Craig Cook is riding for the Tigers against Lions on Sat night - as a Lions fan , I want us to try and beat a strong Glasgow team with arguably the best rider in the Championship this year as opposed to one without..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More chance of the second one, I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’ll serve no ban at all and if he does it’ll be a shorter length during a period he misses no meetings.

What about simply the sole reason why most people want a full hearing.... if he considers he is innocent of the charge, he has evidence to back it up, and for those reasons confident that he will be cleared. If I was innocent and had the evidence to back it up I sure would appeal it and for those speculating anything except the obvious reason then let them go figure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he could perhaps be trying to get out on a technicality along the lines of if it was noted by the ref on the night that punches were thrown, then why was free to carry on racing? He obviously isn't innocent of violent conduct or whatever the rule stated as he plainly did what the rule mentioned so it can only be a challenge on procedures not being followed correctly or something like that.
