Doctor Suspended-Who? no Lembethe

14 years 7 months ago

Noticed that apprentice Doctor Lembethe has been suspended for hiting his mount with excessive force the otherday,when winning at Clairwood.(bellagio)

Now i remember the finish and im sure it was 3 short heads but didn`t pay any notice to the riding styles at the time.

Have just checked the replay and he did seem to use the whip alot,but he won huh?

Anyone have any opinions?

Correct or Harsh ?

I wish a couple of other jocks showed such a will to win.
Maybe there should be the odd enquiry for "too little force" lol

Thought it was sad tbh,the Jock was elated passing the line ,punching the Air etc.He obviously thought he gave the winner a brilliant ride and doing this can only dent him imo.Whats wrong in pulling him aside and saying nice ride son but can you try giving the animal a little time to respond next time?

Far too sensible Hibs.
Do you not sometimes get the impression that the authorities feel powerless over certain issues/persons and balance that out by bullying others?

Someone suggested on one on the sites - ban all crops ? Not sure which way I'd go but something to consider (i've seen some horses improve lengths when no stick used but conversly also seen some wake up and fly from just one crack)

one, two, three cracks ar emaking the horse faster. but more is useless and a good jockey can make the horse run without it!!!!!!

TO ALL OWNERS: i have seen horses, which, due to the excessive use of the whip, stopped to run good raaces at all then, they just began to hate running...

Can't have the same rule for all horses.Trainer surely knows the horse best and instructs accordingly......Bellagio obviously responded positively to a few smacks.Anyone think it would have won "hands and heels"?

did you see the first race in clairwood today? the jockey makes the difference, not the whip

Did you watch it ?????? Marcus uses the stick sparingly until he realises that the horse is not responding adequately and in the last 100 he gives a lot of stick to get the result.Great ride but not "hands and heels".
