But that's beside the point. The ease at which people throw around accusations that jockeys are, at best, indifferent to potentially causing major injuries/deaths is just gross. If you think Irad is out there intentionally putting people in danger, that's on you to prove it, not me to disprove it. That's a very serious allegation and one that's much easier to make from behind a keyboard rather than on the back of a horse.

I don't think anyone here has said that. At least what I am trying to say is that his over aggressiveness, which has been built up in part by the stewards' softness towards him, increase the chances of a serious incident at some point. The next time he is stuck in traffic and decides to bull his way through...it takes a single bad step for catastrophe to occur. Do I think his aggressiveness is used in a manner to deliberately hurt another jockey? Absolutely f****** not, and please don't continue to put those words in my mouth because I have never said that.
