Herding? What herding?

[PatCummings]

I know our friend Blackthroatedwind rails regularly against the growing herding epidemic in race-riding, and deservedly so.

Today in the Falmouth Stakes (G1) at Newmarket we witnessed an epic case of herding and the boys in the box sat on their hands.

Oh, and the whip from Buick riding Elusive Kate struck Sky Lantern across the face once...combining that and the herding...and amazingly, still no DQ
