Mother once told Forrest. "Stupid is as stupid does." It would seem that Adelaide jockey Josh Cartwright must have been a movie fan, he listen and learned the lesson well. In the final race of the program at Morphettville on Saturday, young Josh intentionally veered his mount Senior Council out into another runner making a charge down the outside. That horse then cannoned into another, almost dislodging it's rider. It was a miracle he stayed aboard. The winner and favourite, Murti, ridden by Josh's girlfriend won the race after leading most of the way. Murti had been ridden in it's last 3 races by Josh. As they came down the straight, you can see him looking to the outside before making a a decision to move out into the horses making ground out wide. He's pleaded guilty and is awaiting the stewards penalty. The welfare of fellow riders didn't seem to worry him too much at the time.
From the 800m mark, he's behind the two yellow jacketed runners. He's in dark blue and orange. Orange arm bands and cap.
