Question Overseas Riders

Does anyone else share my misgivings regarding the influx of "Seth Efrikaan" riders in Sydney?

Can't see the problem with them there better than most of the other hacks going around.

Thumbs down

Yeah Raw,

Early on I watched and wagered on those late night telecasts of Sth African racing.
It didn't take me long to realize that it was a "mug's game"...so I give it a big miss these days.
It's a little off the point in question but I know that in Japan the jockeys are"locked up" and their mobile phones are monitored.
Why can't an ICAC officer be appointed to overseer this?

Cheers.

To be honest i don't trust any jockey don't care what nationallity they are if there is one thing though when it comes to Lloyd or Schofield I do not think twice about backing them if they are on something I like and have been very successful with both of them, I wish I could say the same about some of the bigger name jockeys from here.

Question

Yeah, I acknowledge your point Raw,
I have no problem with the current steward's panel whatsover.....BUT...I have noticed some "interesting" activities after the Sth African infllux.
Coud I suggest closer scrutiny of some questionable riding tactics(ie. ICAC).
In no way am I castng aspertions regarding these riders....it is just that I have noticed a trend which I feel is worthy of comment.
NB. when are we going to establish an ICAC enquiry into how Oz racing is conducted?

Cheers.
