2012 and not 1 top jockey riding for fear of missing the meeting, not to mention the 2nd tier jockeys who might have a plum ride lined up in a big handicap. 5 days of hands and heels with 7lb claimers methinks.

If what you suggest had happened this year, none of the top jockeys would have ridden in The Derby as it took place less than two weeks before Royal Ascot.
If they had been banned for winning the Derby they would have only missed the Saturday of Royal Ascot. I think most of them would find that acceptable.
Are you saying that going forward, a jockey will pass up a ride in The Derby for fear of being banned for Royal Ascot?
And as for their fence jumping brethren ditto the 2 weeks before Cheltenham with knobs on 
Tony Hind saying he will not book Ryan Moore for outside rides in the 2 weeks before the Breeders Cup
