https://www.horseracingnation.com/ne...m_jockeys_123# If you don't trust Court's opinion, then look at this video--there's no sign (to me at least) that Long Range Toddy is fading. He's right up there with those chasing Maximum Security until the incident. And after the incident he's 5-6 lengths behind. There's no question he lost all chance because of the incident. https://twitter.com/CarsoniPH/status...28240144457730

I rarely hear about jockey suspensions in USA, and I'm not up to speed with the latest ones. But, the 25 day ban of the Australian jockey that I mentioned in the other thread prevented him from riding an odds-on fav in an international G1 in Hong Kong, let alone G1s in his own country. If Saez was banned from CD, would he be allowed to ride elsewhere? |

others. I don’t see them willing to cede power or dollars for the overall betterment of the sport. Those in power still operate like it is 1965 and they are the only game in town. Hopefully when they pass the torch to the younger generation new ideas are infused to overhaul it but that probably will be at a point where many of us are gone or betting on a much tighter budget. |
