This is very harsh. A fine and small suspension should have been sufficient.
Why is the same punishment not applied across the board. This is a circus
I think to save face we are not being given all the details....how much money did the jock make...how often have they done this... did the bookie / punter lay the horse on Betfair ...sure lots more...I think of we could see the evidence we would not think it so harsh...I've heard trainers have been approached to stop horses.... We as punters I think only know a tenth of the story...

Wonder what action is being taken against the other parties involved.
Sometimes this game can be very upsetting when you overhear the corruption that is taking place.This is not a thing of today .Those of us that have been in the game long enough know all about the " Graff" concept.
Well done to Vee Moodley and staff ,line up all those that corrupt this beautiful sport and ban them from any participation.
