sds banned for 2 weeks

i can see where you're coming from actually

SDS, one of the good guys

spot on mick

What was he banned for?

5th whip offence in 6 months.

BHA are a bunch of clueless outdated posh morons. Let the same people play the system and get away with it and do nothing. Why would they care though when they are only taking out a fraction of what these moronic stewards and people at the BHA HQ are taking out of the sport?

you look at snooker the way hearn an english man, has cleaned up  the sport and tolerates no skulduggery, and now have a look at the bha , they had to go to australia to appoint  bittar and since he has been in , there is horses stopped on a daily basis, jockeys not riding out for the place , 4th is the popular position for a hot fav, if hearn got a hold of the game, hed some clean it up , the problem with racing is that bittar and his mates and the media are part of thr gravy train corruption

I too think 2 weeks ridiculous for the jockey who it seems to me tries his best on every horse he rides....hope he appeals unless of course he wants a 2 week holiday in the sun....T

Some short memories on here, SDS learned his trade riding for G Harker.

The ban isn't ridiculous at all. He's been done 5 times for the same thing in 6 months. The rules are there and he's broken them a number of times.

People can bang on about nothing being done about stopping horses etc but to find anyone guilty of that the BHA need a 100% solid case. There's people on here who are libelous pretty much on a daily basis. Unfortunately for the BHA they can't throw around accusations in the same way without repercussions.

marcce if hearn ran the game it would be clean as a whistle , as long as the bittar there , things will only get worse

Yeah because snooker is isn't it?

It doesn't matter who runs it, they're still bound by the same considerations when it comes to the law. Do you seriously think jockeys would be kicked out of the game the moment someone on this forum played up if Hearn was in charge?

I like SDS always does his best but that sometimes means a rule gets broken whether deliberate or in the heat of battle ....

ban fair enough (imo) and I doubt he will complain about it ...

Love you SDS

Ah he now spend more time with his lovely Irish wife Victoria
