I know we don’t have many racing enthusiasts on the forum but in the sixty years that I’ve been a fan I have never witnessed something like this in horse racing.

And he got 60 days ban... if it had happened in the UK, I’m sure he would have got a two-year ban…absolutely disgusting.

Banned for life would be more appropriate. The camera doesn’t lie.

I saw that earlier today, that could have so easily killed the jockey ... the perpetrator should have been banned for life.

Re: Nudge Nudge
It's such a precarious position they take up, travelling at speed it makes you wonder what went into that character's head against a fellow jockey. As you say it could have killed him. A moment of madness, would other jockeys feel happy to be racing with him again even after he has served such a paltry ban?
