There is no reason for it and it's inexcusable. This is a job in which it is imperative that the person pay attention to what they are doing.

If this jockey can't keep his mind focused for less than two minutes at a time, simply put, he shouldn't be riding.

I'd say a suspension is letting him off pretty easy.

All Im saying is he made a mistake. He thought the 1/8 pole was the finish line. If you watch it again the only thing at the finish is the mirror. The track needs to do something with the finish line.
