Just remarkable

25/11/2009 | By More

Just watched a horse throw its jockey, break through the barriers from the all weather to the National Hunt course, run the entire length of that course, smash through the barriers on it’s return, continue bolting to the start and guess what? It STILL started a 5f race! If finished 5th out of 7 runners.

I can’t believe they still let this horse run. It’s remarkable that they didn’t really care that much for the horses welfare. I know the vet checked it over and all that and that it’s down to connections whether it runs. But when a horse has done that it’s just not fair on the horse or the punters to let it run. Especially in a 5f race.

It threw up a great trading opportunity but I’d rather it be withdrawn and not bag a bit of profit from it staying in the race. Just astonished it was not withdrawn.
