Jockey verhängte Sperre wegen „verabscheuungswürdiger“ Behandlung eines erschöpften Pferdes während des Rennens

Only a 12 day suspension for something even the commentators could barely defend

>*will serve a short suspension.*

He is an amateur rider who has had only 10 rides in the past five years according to the Racing Post website. 12 days is the maximum suspension under the rules but in this case it is moot because hardly anyone uses him anyway.

It’s amazing people still try to paint horse racing as a civilised sport.

People who hurt animals don’t stop with animals. It’s only a matter of time before he does this to a child, a pregnant mother, or an old person.
