PE JOCKS

Khumalo got the boot from Laing yard as he eased 2 horses out of the races that they deemed to be sound. I think Lucky also complained the other day that he had a horse of his scratched at the start.

Fortune been axed by Snaith. I suppose they had to blame the diabolical PE run on someone. The usual "no good" stories emerging.

Murray(Laing) and Lerena( Snaith) now take over.

Johann , Andy is not keen on the traveling anymore and wants to concentrate more on Jhb, hence Gavin now stable jock, (was due to start on the 10th but was suspended)
Snaith racing PE have had 5 winners in the first 6 weeks of this year and 2 winners from 3 meetings this month which can hardly be described as a "Diabolical Run"

I suppose after Saturday Andy will be spending most of the next few months on the couch anyway.

Why johanm?The objection was overruled so he must be innocent.You not allowed to hit another horse on the head so if the stipes thought he did then surely the objection would have been upheld whether it caused the third horse the win or not.Am I right in saying that?

The objection was overruled because under the current rules it can only be upheld if the incident was deemed to have cost us (3rd horse) the race,which it didn't, however Johanm is right, if the striking of the horse is found to have been deliberate then a suspension will be forthcoming..

No enquiry called according to stipes

Not surprising, Gav also felt that it was accidental

Change of mind ?

Looked very deliberate to everyone else. Mind you van Niekerk is still stable jockey at the Bass yard.

Bob where does this stack up in comparison to the groom that kicked the horse and Murray's excessive use of the whip ?

How can it be accidental ? Once he hit something other than fresh air it had to be the other horse. So then he has to put the whip away. Everyone remembers him hitting a young apprentice one day at Milnerton in a close finish and losing the race on an objection. In Titch's eyes he is a national hero alongside greats like the late Joost.

I have a quick question......in the Met there was a very lengthy deliberation that was overruled.....so why did Crawford get a suspension?
