Again, the argument is because he has talent we're supposed to just condone all of his embarrassing antics. What does his ride on the horse in the 2nd (who, by the way, Kent moved early on and got away with it because the horse was an hour the best) have to do with him losing a race because he decided to style the last 1/16th instead of riding his horse out like is his job?

If this were literally any other jockey, I'd most likely be OK with just a warning. But the pattern of irresponsible behavior in his career putting other people in danger and stealing money by not trying is a disgrace to this game. Yet he's allowed to just keep on being who he is because sycophants like you think as long as someone has big wins on their resume they should be able to act however the hell they please with no repercussions.

How's that Greg Hardy jersey fitting?
