@RacingTV@BHAHorseracing@ABE_Dubai If “not an issue of welfare” how can the BHA justify suspending Jockies for 14+ days on perception grounds? Preventing a professional from earning a living for an extended period of time for potentially offending a cohort of the public who don’t like/understand our sport anyway.

@ACrumbled@samhill55280442@hughcahill7@PaulKimmage@kevinblake2011 His key source: a man with multiple district court convictions (dog ownership offences) and was banned for animal cruelty - which if he had even read the veterinary evidence of the hearing would know was not a jellyfish sting, but in fact an ill-treated “blister” procedure.
2022 - Convicted of 6 offences in the District Court where his dog killed 68 sheep of a neighbouring farmer over a prolonged period. (Mr Justice Larkin is quoted saying he would “defiantly be going to jail” had he not made efforts to compensate the victim)
2010: Injuncted by the High Court for trying to sell a defamatory & sickening story about his ex- fiancé. (only granted by the High Court in exceptional circumstance)
2005: fined £2,100 for deliberately “misleading” Southwell stewards in declaring 2 horses that had not been in his supervision for the required 10 days before racing
