Soumillion - There Is No Legal Challenge

There's only one clown here....joined 05/10/11

Well said Bob.

i think the clowns are the bha ....making british racing a laughing stock....

Good luck with that project,differentdrum.

You've obviously never heard of the dreaded European Court of Human Rights.

lawyers in clover over the next few days..RULES will be changed as they would be unlikely to win or even defend them at the Euro Court...

Could be a case in Europe but I think it would be more for losing the riding fee, bit of a grey area one that if challenged.

Soumillon went to work this morning and finished the day out of pocket.

fụck rules, we're talking employment legislation.

yes the rules are ridiculous!! shoot them!!!

Yes, well said Bob - pro-whip stereotype I presume? This forum must be honoured if your previous 1,390 posts were as good as that one.

50 large + loss of a further 5 days income, plus possibly missing out on the prestige of being Champion Jockey in France. All because of 1 extra strike with an air-cushioned whip.

Thank god for Britsh Justice, imo.

And a knighthood for murder.

Remember the Jockey Club/BHA took a torpedo from the EU courts over trying to claim copyright on UK racecards. Well I think this might just be another one they will suffer a reverse on.

The financial penalty is out of proportion to the offence and on the face of it, would seem to be out of kilter with even a loose notion of natural justice.
