i have been told by reliable sources that Vee Moodley and the NHRA dont make mistakes.

It is in fact the way u spell SIMANGA' name.

SIMANGA has been spelling his own name wrong for all these years and has now been advised of such by the NHRA.

Have they watched the ride on Benjamin in the last race at Kenilworth the other day? If Khumalo gets ten days for this, how many days does Cheyne get for that ride?

Thor - i saw that but i wrote it off to GC being an generally a weak jockey and that horse requiring stronger handling.

Didn't he drop his whip a couple of 100 metres from home?

All I will say is, I backed the horse, and a few hundred metres before he actually dropped the whip, I remember thinking, WTF is this jockey doing??? And then sure enough he drops the whip. And then the horse still started progressing again. Sometimes it is really blatant. But as Cochrane has said, maybe he's just a weak jockey.
