Horse was lairy my arse.

"She denied a misjudgement at Kilbeggan, saying she sent her horse to the front as she wanted to ensure a strong gallop, before easing the mare down in passing the winning post for the first time as her mount "became lairy"."

If a nobody did what she did they would be looking at the max ban allowable.

Seems a bit harsh that professional jockeys are not allowed to make a mistake.

This is pretty basic stuff though, add to that the sport is hand in glove with the bookies and people will have lost a shed load betting on the horse no doubt.

I've seen much worse examples of a jockey going for the finish a circuit too soon though.

They didn't put her in because they wanted to win ffs. Had they not fielded someone they would have got 0 points, by someone entering and finishing last they got 2 points.

I'm well aware of that
I'm merely pointing out given how low the hurdles are she made a meal of it.
