Considering how sensitive this subject currently is, it doesn't do much for its image when a jockey can still remount a horse that has taken an absolute pearler because he is too lazy to walk his mount back.
Ambrose McCurtin should be given some advice on equine welfare by the stewards.

Loper thats very unfair , I didn't see the race I was in the shower as it happens, but I do agree that a jockey should not get back on a horse that's had a heavy fall.

There you go again, proving my point by being obsessed with nationality.
If you must know, I regard Ireland as the true home of the thoroughbred racehorse, and the epicentre of the world's thoroughbred breeding industry. Something that all Irishmen should be very proud of.
But then I'm biased, being half Irish!
