FAO Ruby Walsh and co

amen to that

I am pretty sure jockeys are self employed.

Agreed,pushing there luck with the public.

He will ride in Ireland BB and fingers up to us!

Self employed or not, they rely on owners to pay them to ride.

It's certainly keeping racing in the public gaze.... 

if richard hughes is back riding then everything must be ok

maybe their owners support them ???

What a ridiculous thread - I don't know what you do for a job but if you were suddenly greeted by some arbitrary rules which hindered you doing your job I bet you'd be feeling exactly the same.

Sounds like a rather right wing thread imo.

And if through arbitration i`d had 99% of my complaints sorted i`d be more than happy to carry on,trying to bully the BHA now.

bilbo...they are happy...they are not...some are happy..some are not....

we would like this...but not that....oh thanks meeting this request but know we would like this to happen...

they shpuld get their f***** act together and then they may seem a little more credible ijn their demands.!!!!!

its not helped by the media grovelling to them all the time

egner i think thats more or less what they said to the slaves before willberforce got involved.

how long was rupert banned for?

zeb...comparing these guys to the slaves situation is way way off the mark and bordering on offensive.

I haven't seen a jockey yet who is happy with the "revisions" so further conflixt was inevitable.

Hughes and Walsh have thought they can carry on like before and have come unstuck....their problem imo

Indeed fb

2nd time this week the horse ive back has finished 2nd to a horse where the jockey has broken the whip rules. will this even itself out over the year, or do you just have to follow certain jockeys who are willing to whip that extra time?

Bloody 'ell, egner.
Didn't realise you took anything seriously !

egner wishing that the new rules stay because it suits your in running stratagey is bordering on selfish.

The only way these rules will ever work is if breaking them leads to a disqualification.  Until then, it's a license to print for any yard having a go at one.

OMFG.....you think thats why i want the new rules and would prefer the whip to banned..

gfys

did not know you wanted the whip banned - and don't have a hissy fit with me laddie!

Taking organised action is one thing, staying in the weighing room because one of the leading jockeys has been banned is another.

dont call me laddie you utter ****

steady on, fellas....tis only a silly whip debate

egner ...laddie laddie laddie


Agree barton - i guess theyre cheesed off .

and like demc10, I had one yesterday that was beaten into second by a jockey who received a ban.

Very frustrating, until I read that my jockey had also over-stepped the rules!

Swings and roundabouts guys.

Any sympathy or thought for the Jockey on the second who was beaten only a nose  and as far as I know kept to the rules ??...can that be fair?
I had no betting  interest in the race

they tried to organise action last week and got fobbed off by the bha.
