5.15 Aintree delayed Jockeys refusing to come out

200 plus thread coming up.......

That bloke on morning line said NO STRIKE this week

1.01 busted

surely he deserved it?

8 smacks imo

nervous breakdown avoided

Ruby looks livid

Ban them all for 3 months

Ruby ruby doesnt look happy.....Harvey Smith would show those stwds...

They should all get a ban for delay to the paying public?? ffs we got lives to live(fooking jockeys)

BAD MOOD

any chance all jocks could pull their mounts up in this race....

Bring the Eastern Europeans in imo

I've traded Ackertac FFS

Metro John there would be no racing without jockeys. Does an ambulance follow you around while you are working.

These little blokes are getting to cockey

..if they had not flouted and simply ignored the old rules perhaps they could have kept them....

now it out of their hands......

BAN THE WHIP...have done with it.

If they did refuse to come out this is clearly taking the law into their own hands and they should all be fined

Arkearkle, the public pay into racetracks for pleasure not political delays to there lives!

Egner you keep saying that you obviously have a death wish for horse racing and in particular NH.

these jockeys should appreciate they have good jobs, if i refused to hand a door i'd be ran off the job

egnar is correct,all these aftertimers that open there mouths too late no good to anyone and that includes the press!

ark it would not be half as bad as many think....

no bans.....no punishments....no pandering to the animal lobby....a level playing field...

does it really sound so bad.

Jockeys are just little men, without us the punters.

well said soba

The punters aren't important in racing, so you should stop whinging like a bunch of tards. Racing is all about the horses, the owners and trainers. Us punters are just mugs who use racing for enjoyment and to win money.

There are livelihoods on the line here, there are horses that will be deemed useless under these stupid new rules, and all you can do is moan because they make a stand.

Sad.

3foot = Aftertimer = sad

3foot are you a short jockey ?

NO!...........long nob

i hear he is a big lad

Metrojohn just sad.

Stop crying fella just because your race was a few minutes late.

If you all take a step back and looked at the revised rules then you will see how utterly stupid they are. If horse welfare is the issue that is made out, then the government should have banned racing, but instead the bigwigs who have an influence got their little heads together and gave us this shambles.

I absolutely love racing before anyone accuses me of being a member if PETA or something. The end line is that some illogical rules have been brought in and the punishments magnified so it looks like something has been done.

How many whip bans are we going to see around Aintree 4m4f next April?

I thought that his wife had her toung out

dident relise he was standing behind her

I blame francome

Well said 3foot

If horse welfare is the issue that is made out


Horse welfare is not the issue and the BHA review group has said so

Also if you saw the morning line the horse welfare spokesman also said that the whip does not hurt a horse

The real issue is perception and racing for change enthusiasts pandering to a non racing audience

thehoffisback....Do you give away doors for a living ? In that case why would anyone listen to you ?

Yes your right Ranader but why are they doing that? For me its because some quarters of the non-racing public are of the opinion that horse racing is cruel and something needs to be done etc etc.
