Have to agree with those who say either do the weight or get out the way. Pawan and her are a joke so a fine is fine in my book. No place for novelty acts in racing. Maybe that seems harsh but this is a profession and a business so she just shouldn’t be riding if she can’t do the weight.
Correct, it is a profession and a business (for owner & trainer). So the jockey (A Stokell) should have primary responsibilty to the trainer (A Stokell) and the owner (A Stokell)
If the punters don’t like it, well they should do their research in advance.
If a low quality horse with a trainer showing some sort of devotion & determination is a novelty act, does that mean 90% of racehorses should all be sent to the knackers yard?
Anthony,take a look at the treatment of Pawan in the first two furlongs of his latest race, if you can find a race video, then say if you still think he should be racing.

I’ve seen it & yes, Pawan has probably had enough racing. But to call him & Ann Stokell a ‘novelty act’ is out of order.
I’m sorry, but they clearly are a novelty act, So much so, a bookmakers made specials on them. Rest my case.
Anthony, it was not I who said Miss Stokell and Pawan were a novelty act; that was earlsferry.
Like you, I used to have a lot of time for the Stokells and their horses, but the magic appears to have gone.
Nobody took up my earlier question: Has anyone seen Pawan pre-race to see how fit he is?
(There’s so much donkey-walloping on ATR that one rarely has a chance to see horses in the paddock.)

So we should get rid of them? If that’s the case, then what do we do with the other several thousand horses that aren’t a novelty, they’re just plain bad?
Some people on here are as good as volunteering to drive the truck to the knackers yard.
