Yeah, I know how you feel mate but all we can do is move on. I suppose with apprentices they just do what they are told to do.

discipline pays,
Yeah, I saw that race and the rider was given 2 months to contemplate his actions. Some commentators tried to justify the rider's actions by saying he was watching the infield big screen and it was an error of judgment....but he still gets his riding fee.....what do the punters get...a hole in their wallets!
Yes, it had a bit of the Kieran Fallon about it(it's always the fav).
Anyway..I suppose that we'll still back up today and tomorrow... etc

Cheers.
