Aye, and in a place where it would definitely hurt him most!

He was suspended for two weeks. That is a light sentence for what he did. Implies that worse things are going on in secret. Always amazes me that when a jockey has been dismounted the horse often continues round the course ,even in the Grand National horses without jockeys will still continue to jump fences.

Well they are penalised for over use of the whip. But lets admit that horse racing has its downsides.
