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.

I'm I missing something here? A terrible thing right enough but nobody seems to bat an eyelid that they whip the erse of the horses in every race :evil:

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