Robert KHATHI banned for 4 months

This is just absolute nonsense...

I often stood on the rail at Kenilworth when they raced on the old course way back in the day The amount of horse pulling was outrageous. All they got for that was a brown envelope from the bookies

......over the years there have been several okes on the take.....but these days hardly anyone can make a killing by bushing the good things.....big punters are limited and so are the independent brown bagging bookies....besides the oke in question is pretty smart but highly underrated and he of all people would not bite the hands of those that feed him.....no funny business with the Plattner set up either as she will never let a bent oke near her horses....I really feel for the oke because he is hard working yet humble.....not a showman nor title chaser but puts in the hard yards to get the very few opportunities granted to him....a 4 month ban will take the food from his mouth because there was no brown bag....

time for ROBERT BLOOMBERG to throw his hat into the ring & give a helping hand ?

I see that Khathi has been taken off the Nel horse today as a late change, Wednesday he was taken off their horses and next Wednesday he doesn’t get any ride for the stable. Everyone seams to be claiming innocence but this must show that there is something more to it. People also asking why he got 4 months but keep in mind 2 years ago he got 2 months for not trying on a horse cpt.

.... Assumption is the mother of all f@ck@ps so let's not paint him in a worse shape he is presently in.... just maybe he cannot afford to travel to take up any his riding engagements in KZN and needs every cent he has to try and fight an appeal.... :huh:

I didn’t know he moved again. However he still has a ride for another stable in the first at this stage

That seems harsh...on the head on, the horse's head is slightly right towards the rail and the jockey then tries to straighten the horse so as not to interfere with the horse coming on the inside and in the last few metres, one can see that the horse's head is to the jockey's left...must have been a difficult ride and had he not tried to keep straight would have interfered with the horse on the inside...damned either way...maybe I'm too blind to see any intentional bad riding of the horse to prevent it winning / placing better...

like damned if you do, fucked if you don't?
