This just epitomises the current state of the horse racing game, it is well an truly fixed and in a mess how can he not touch the horse an still go on an win in such a way he didn't want it to win. Everyone has just witnessed what a creep hefferanan is wanting to get beat absolute disgrace

Ibrahima Sonko I'm not saying it didn't look bad , but if you ban heffernan for winning a race cosily when you suppose he was trying to let his stablemate win, well then every jockey in the future that wins cosily or confidentially should be potentially up for a ban

Broke no rules I'm aware of, but if he's just running to make the pace for a stablemate he shouldn't be in the betting.

IS...how can you possibly ban a jockey for winning on the basis it didnt look good?

hotdog , heffernan is just riding to orders
if you put this race side by side with other winning rides by heffernan , you would definitely see a difference in body language plus , i have not seen a jockey take so many glances to his side to see where the other horses are ( exept for that cosgrave ride in dubai ) , if you are trying to make the horse run as fast as it can 1 and a half furlongs out , it makes no difference where the opposition are , unless you are trying to win cosily , which he wasn't |

What's interesting is that Heffernan didn't go for his whip as the heavily pushed and whipped Kingsbarns hit the front.

maybe the horse doesnt need hard riding?

I think winning cosily is totally different to what we just saw, i know it would be hard to prove what really went on but it cant be all ok just because he won.
He was clearly trying not to win, if that is ok just because the horse won then the game is never going to get better. I bet they dont even interview him. |

Look at the betting on the Coolmore pair -Kingsbarn drifted from 6/4 to 9/4 while Hall Of Mirrors hardened from 8/1 to 13/2. Doesn't take much working out that the result did not come as a huge surprise to mega-gambling Ballydoyle!

He done everything he could not to win, but unfortunately Kingsbarns was not good enough to take advantage of the situation.

Unfortunately you are making an assumption on what you saw that he didnt want to win. Being banned on an assumption, cant be right and would never work.

What would Heffernan be charged with, assuming the Stewards do get involved - FAILURE TO HIT HIS HORSE perhaps???

The King was naked for all to see there,would have been interesting to see the reactions by the press lads if Kingsbarns got up on the line with Heffernan just sitting there like a wet lettuce for 2 furlongs.
