Today I learned that at Ascot you can move over 6 paths during key moments late in the race and interfere with TWO different horses and not be DQ’d.
The jockey who continued whipping right, as his mount was coming over and forced two rivals to take up was given a 10 suspension. Just 5 days more than a guy got who didn’t interfere with anyone and made no contact. Yeah….no thanks. |
