I want to think this through more. Whatever decision I would come to, would be after all thought and I would be definitive. I just don't know where that would be right now. I'd ask my partner, my trainer, I'd ask other jocks who I know very well, personally not just professionally. I think many of us arrive at some opinions with input, educated input, from others.

I don't know -- the kid (and I don't use that word disrespectfully) has been on horses for many years. How many times? 10,000? An accident? I don't know, I am starting to think that it's a tough "mistake" -- to make and for me to swallow. Shoulder? Face? I just don't know.

well when you see him .. blast him in the face and catch some eye socket..then say.. sorry..and walk away.........

Well said?

Well said if you are an OJ Simpson apologist.

How does one accidentally reposition the arm to where you hit the horse in the face, have the horse bolt five lanes over, and then accidentally hit the horse again, maybe even two more times, in the face??!

I'll tell you how.

If the glove don't fit, you must acquit.

Did anyone just hear Maggie Wolfendale call in to ATR?

I missed it, Kasept. What did she say?

You're too easy, I say give him the same two fingers that Moe gave Curly and Shemp and let him know that there is more to come when he can start to see again.

Personally, I LOVE where he says:

"As we were coming through the lane, I intended to hit her on the shoulder with my whip to keep her from continuing to lug in, and hold my position in 2nd."

It took them over 48 hours to come up with this?

A) In my many years of enjoying the sport, I have actually never seen a jockey who intended to hit a horse on the shoulder, nearly take out an eye. I'm not saying it never happened but I've never seen it in 32 years of watching.

B) After the initial "lugging in" the horse had actually straighted out for about 4-5 jumps before he whacked her, the first time.

C) When he hit her for the 2nd and 3rd time as they neared the wire, the 2nd place finisher had already passed them up with ease, so I'm not sure how he thought he was going to "hold...2nd".

The ONLY thing he has going in his favor is nobody REALLY knows if it was an accident or not except for him. In the court of public opinion, he has already been convicted. I am one of those who has done so. But I don't think at this point that matters to him or his lawyer. The only thing that matters is getting this behind them, with as little punishment as possible. They'll hope the rest will take care of itself over time.

She has a couple of posts on thoroughbred champions.

Maybe Rose is just wildly inaccurate with the whip?
Does he have a lot swings-and-misses when attempting to whip on a horse's ass?

yea right

stay in shape for 6 months JR, come back better than ever, and don't accept any "free money" while out.

I watched the race. I've watched thousands to know what intent is. This was very bad. No, I'm not a steward. But, I know what I saw. We need more pro-active action. Rose got off light.
The "game" is in enough trouble. Time to clean it ALL up. Yes, it'll mean some more losing tix. As players we should be used to that.

The video in this link shows the eye injury (kinda graphic):

I don't care how severe the injury actually is....that is ugly and looks painful, her eye is a mess.

I found it interesting he decided to use a press release instead of facing the press, if you were truly innocent wouldn't you go out screaming and kicking your innocence? It's a classic case of deny, deny, and deny and in time hopefully they will forget. Frankly I expected more from him. To me this was almost an admission of guilt.
