£15 at 1000 on the winner too, no wonder people have given up betting on the nags
Watching this race and i was thinking about Jasper Carrots' joke "Nutter on the bus"... well we all know who the nutter is now
Those that layed Bluffer at 1.01 or backed the Egypt at 1000 are definitely not giving up on betting.
so 7 people have £1 on at 999/1 and someone pays out 7k. Don't the 7 keep paying joe ?
1000 is unreal but if there was a way to lay a million (1000000) people would do so in the hope of nicking loose change against the deeds of their house.
Dont care if claimer or not... he s a d.o.g that guy ...looked at screen and stopped riding...ban for life imho...
The point about these incidents is that IF you wanted to deliberately, dishonestly, for £, lose a race......you could just do that and say "dreadful error of judgement, nobody more upset than me etc etc". That is the argument, for me, in punishing it more severely regardless of the experience of the jockey. It really, really is an offence that would cease if the penalty was sufficient. The repetition of it shows the penalties are too lenient.
Once again a jockey eases up when clear and gets beat on a horse that should have won convincingly, this was 7 lengths clear when the jockey eased up, they will continue to do this until the Jockey club makes examples of them and give the culprits lengthy bans. The commentators were saying poor jockey feeling sorry for the jockey. James Doyle got away with it last month after the stewards fell for the lies Doyle spewed to them
until they start banning the jockeys that ease up and don't get caught on the line it will continue to happem
It drifted before the off too... liberty mountain punted...smelly as...conpletely stopped riding... i lost a good bit ...but that ride is indefencible...stopped riding completely ..disservice to the punting public... ban for life imho... claimer or not.. BHA has a responsibility to punters ..no punters no game..whatever pocket talking bs you want to put forward is irrelevant...
He just looked like a cocky young prick trying to look like a jockey......just ride it through the line you prick....
I was lucky to get away with the moderate loss that I did. Dusted off the big red panic cancel-****g-everything button which hasn't been pressed for some time. 
That was a stinger, bloody hell it's tough enough without debacles like that.
Race 5 - 3:15pm
THE LEICESTER RACECOURSE - LEICESTER'S PREMIER CONFERENCE VENUE CLAIMING STAKES (CLASS 5)
Permission was given for EL MONTEJEAN to wear a red hood to post.
Matthew Lloyd Slater, the rider of BLUFFERONTHEBUS (IRE), placed second, beaten by a nose, had failed to ride out approaching the finish. Being a 7lb. claimer Lloyd Slater was accompanied by a senior rider. After being interviewed and shown recordings of the incident, Lloyd Slater was suspended for 28 days for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to obtain the best possible placing on a horse that would have finished first.

I'm feeling pedantic after that. It was a clear neck, not a nose.

Young jockey starting out, looking for his first winner I believe, no doubt conscious of not winning too far with future handicaps in mind, has made a horrendous error, cost me a bottle and I'm not too pleased, but some of the comments on here are beyond harsh. It's been happening forever so shrug it off like a seasoned long-suffering punter and spare a thought for the mortified young amateur jock!
Got banned for 28 days which at his current rate of rides will be at most 5 rides, the punishment should be longer and he and the other jockeys should all be warned that for any future incidents, punishments will be harsher starting at 3 months for recognised professionals and indefinitely for apprentices. That would almost guarantee that these incidents will cease to happen
Awful I agree, but should point out the only massive losers would be those playing inplay rather than pre race.
You can avoid laying the 1000s if you avoid inplay etc.

Still horrendous ride though, I agree, and if I'd backed it I would have kicked the tele through the wall 
Not the massive losers that count Stu, anyone who'd backed that pre off has every right to be livid. Horse racing has been dying on it's ass for years and things like that won't bring punters on board, it's no wonder the general public see racing as fixed.
I lost a few quid but do this day in day out so it's swings and roudabouts for me and it all evens out over the 1000's of races each year but anyone new will just see it as bent or incompetent. Plus 28 days is hardly a punishment as I doubt he's got any races lined up in the next 28 days anyway.

Unfortunately, threads like this are akin to kicking the smallest kid in the class. If they really want to tackle rubbish rides then start with those at the top. Stewards don't want to know unless it's beyond obvious.
Skelton should have been called out for that ride in the second at Ayr today. Mount was probably 20 lengths better than the second, but because he has tried to be clever, he could easily have been caught out on a 30/100. Conning absolutely nobody as the handicapper should know he had a ton in hand.
