Should Lynch decision be Rabble’s swan song?

[Glenn]

Remember those fairytale last rides that used to be so common in the pre-exchange era? You know, when the retiring jock always seemed to bow out on a winner. It’s nice to end on a high note.

Maybe The Rabble should take their cue from these heavily punted dream endings and empty their desks today rather than just soldiering on into oblivion.

They’ve finally got something right and refused Lynch his license. It would be nice to remember them that way rather than by the wrongheadedness and bungling incompetence that has brought the sport to its knees.

My advice would be: don’t delay go today.

What do you say chaps?

Don’t think they can be given too much credit for reaching the ‘right’ decision regarding Lynch. The ‘should we shouldn’t we’ discussion could not have lasted more than a picosecond surely?

Let the fate of the Tote be the swansong they’re remembered for

Sweet or sad?

Go on, surprise us all BHA

Over to you

Please do not think the jockey is always the rascal.
I am now absolutely convinced the main problem lies with the trainer. They are in charge, they are the boss, they instruct.
We have seen the leniency given when a trainer instructs a vet, the same leniency applies when giving instructions to jockeys.
Unfortunately, some jockeys, fed up with their masters, decide to take matters of fixing races into their own hands. They decide that financial rewards are greater elsewhere.
Very foolish. That is not how the racing industry works.

Doubt if the BHA will ever get another "plea bargain"

They would be better giving life bans rather than the current system where you serve your ban and then they don’t licence you.

I presume that is why Karl Burke has not applied for a licence.

Henderson was lucky to be considered a proper person to hold a licence after seeing the evidence of the Main enquiry,
