Tom Scu - Cartmel

Some chatter on Twitter that the RP have done a number on Scu in tomorrow's paper. Lots of indignation but no details.

Anyone know what the story is?
 
He jumped a fence rather than a hurdle! :D RP should be more concerned about not having a real feed for race card details as they won't pay the data owners. Like many I've deleted the RP app and I'm now using Irish Racing for all cards.
 
the lads grandad only just died too. RP is a position to create a great trade paper but its nothing more than a bookies advertising rag.

so tabloid
 
Taking the wrong course is one thing - jumping a fence in a hurdle is another ! I can only assume this has something to do with his recent bereavements.
 
I'm just wondering if Scu has been critical of the paper recently (I wouldn't know) and this is some form of revenge. If there's nothing there then it is a highly unusually critical headline. Can't see Scu doing many interviews for the paper in the near future.

I don't recall any racing paper ever taking such a line. Very tabloid as James says.

Most of us on here have been critical of some of Scu's rides at some time or another but I'm not sure anyone deserves this in a sport in which they are putting their life on the line every time they ride.

Managed to zoom in on the article to read it (might pop into the bookies later) and Scu appears to have handled it very humbly. Good on him.

It's way too harsh. Everyone has had one of those days at work where your brain melts and you make a massive fcuk up.

RP is a tabloid rag...the masses flocking to read Segal every Saturday. On a side issue, be interesting to see how Scu handles Massannie in the 6.30 @Bangor.
 
My estimation of Scu as a person has trebled due to his mature reaction to this.

Still think he is a poor jockey, though.
 
Whatever you say about his riding Tom Scudamore is definitely a good, honest and decent bloke and i've only just seen this but frankly the headline is bang out of order. Cheap i'd call it.
 
Effin poor day in hell if that's all the pricks at the RP have write about......if you can call it writing.......Sh!t happens grow up RP
