I think this is pretty stupid, an owner of a racehorse climbed onto the horses behind the jockey and walked him into the winners enclosure and got a £100 fine... I see no problem with the owner riding the horse a short distance to the winners enclosure after it had won, no doubt people found it cruel which is why he got fined, i mean if he had rode the race behind the jockey there would be an issue lol but the horse was just walking and it wasn't very far. I have sat on a horse behind my friend for a short period of time and it does no harm. What does everyone else think? I found it quite amusing

WTF!!!?? Of all things that people could be fined for in the racing industry (not saying everyone's bad in that industry) but there are SO many WORSE things that should be targetted rather than someone double dinkying *face palm*

I know i found it funny more than anything else! I think that racing is taking itself far too seriously now, i mean they are so worried about what people will say they try to cover up or fix everything that isn't 'proper'!

Wow, this is hilarious! I couldn't believe it when I read it :D a horse that size and power can easy carry a couple of people at a walk over a short distance! My god, what spoil-sports! I think it's a great idea personally- I mean, it's their horse isn't it!? :P x
