It's okay for the multi millionaire jockeys, they don't need to ride all day every day to make a living, but what about the young apprentices who need to make a living, calling meetings to and end half way through hurt them it also hurt trainers and owners (who still would have copped the bill for transport and staff expenses, all to witness their horse(s) denied a run through some selfish act.
Isn't this an over reaction? It was only half a day's card...it was more of a nuiscence than anything, give them credit it worked as they got the attention of the ARB.
