Sircozy in the last at Newbury , and what was Buick doing in that last race on the hot favourite at Doncaster, went way too soon.
Jockeys refusing to ride in 5:15 due to punishment Ruby has received for use of whip in previous race.
Pathetic arseholes- what about the public that have paid for the day out at the track ? do they not count. I am not happy about the rules myself but to strike during a card is totally unacceptable
They should all just down tools until someone sees sense - its a ****ing joke. Every race that gets to the business end you can tell the jockeys are thinking "how many more times can I hit him".
I reckon Ruby will ride more and more in Ireland now and just come over to ride Nicholls big guns. RV - a strike has no effect if it doesn't inconvenience someone - that's the politics behind it - cause maximum disruption. Well done the toon btw
Got that off Cornelius Lysnaught on twitter now seems they will ride in the race. Ruby given 5 day ban.
And that Kevin Darley was a right cock on the Morning Line this morning. Nick Luck was serving them all bravo to him Odddy belting finish from one of our French wizzards
t's these stupid rules though, how can the BHA possibly think that there is only 1 use of the whip difference between 5f and 3m+ ? WHat kind of idiots are they that they think that is a reasonable difference between the two codes.
kevin Darley, my old nemisis i honestly dont think i ever backed a horse that he won on. used to hate him when he was a jockey because of this
Odddy. and haha his hurdling wasn't that fluent but he travelled well in to the race, will keep improving Hazy Tom
Thought Camelot looked exceptional worthy Derby fav now...very very impressive. What about Fingal Bay absolutely hacked up 14s for the Neptune Novice hurdle... i think thats worth a punt...although could he tackle the Supreme Novice Hurdle?
For Camelot see St Nicks Abbey or Frankel - not buying into any hype at all! Ruby - you can hit the horse eight times - you hit him nine! Live with it - its the new rules AP and all were applauding a month ago! Is it workable no...but to threaten to down tools in the middle of a meeting is ****!
Re: Ruby that is total bullshit mate.. Ask yourself are the rules not a joke in this case? To hit the horse 8 times is ok but you hit him 9 times so off you go for a 5 day day break? No wonder their was debate to go on riding. This is turning racing into a farce. What next, ban them for eating a bacon butty as it offends some vegetarians? There are degrees to severity and if 8 hits of the whip is ok but 9 hits is befitting of that punishment then I'm thinking someone writing these rules is a complete tool.
