The european rules vary between countries. They are much more relaxed than the rules you have in America.

Although Dylan Thomas did cut across a couple of horses, the horses that suffered were beaten at the time and had no chance of winning. Most of the countries in Europe use the rule of "did the interference change the outcome of the race?" and if they can't be sure it did, they usually let the result stand.

I hope Dylan goes to Monmouth now........ but i doubt he will.

O'Brien said he is now coming for the BC Turf. That also means Fallon won't have the mount either.
