Diego Lima- Two day ban for hitting the horse on the head in the stalls at York

Incorrect,Wacko.
He struck the horse thirteen times

He hit him twice in stalls and 11 on track just got clarification

For clarification

BHA Report - for further clarification.

D. D. Lima, the rider of RANTING DUKE, placed second, had appeared to use his whip in an inappropriate and unacceptable way in the stalls. After being interviewed and shown recordings of the incident Lima was suspended for 2 days for improper riding./a

+ last one, was it 11th or 12th with whip in the wrong position.

The horse is certain to be disqualified

Should have been banned for life, no reason to hit it over head in stalls with no warning for horse whatsoever. Horse will be terrified of stalls now, what an utter idiot. Whip happy little monster, for sure he has done this before, just not been caught.

A rather sweeping statement,doorman.
Any evidence to support your claims?

Doorman, I posted the Stewards because the stewards, probably correctly, did NOT take the same view as yourself of his activities in the stalls. His fuller penalty will come when this is set against his whip antics during the race.
