I’d have to watch it again to answer you Zarkava, but I really do think this was an incident that would have caught out many jockeys who were leading.

Just think Cook was unlucky in this instance.

A genuine mistake in very confusing and unique circumstances

I have to admit I didn’t know until about 20 minutes after the race that Danny Cook was in the wrong.

Did you? Attheraces didn’t either – but I thought they did an excellent job showing the flag man as quickly as they did.

The Betfair Forum had no idea what was going on once ATR showed that. At the time a lot of sympathy came on the forum for him – very rare for Betfair forumites to do that.

This was an unprecedented situation.

For a split second Cook thought he was doing the right thing – putting safety first. Yes, he was wrong – but at that split second, he thought he was doing the right thing.

In my opinion – the calls for a 6 month ban are ridiculous.

Give a young jockey a break.

Worst thing about the paper – on Saturday, "minor" meetings like Thirsk, form is reduced to past two races.

Reduction in service for the main racing day – poor

Hi Everyone,

I see lots of horses targeted for the turf events – am sure the Sheema Classic and Dubai Duty Free will be as competitive as ever – but if the World Cup was being run tomorrow – who would line up?

KANDIDATE – bit like The Pilgarlic back in the day in The Grand National, runs every year – will never win
ASIATIC BOY

Errr…. thats it for me

Over to you guys – who’s gonna run?

Did Paul Daniels cause as much debate when he fooled us with his Wizardry back in the 80s?

Derrin Brown calls himself an "illusionist" and an "entertainer"

In his show he delivered both in bucket loads.

In short – I thought the show was brilliant. Quality entertainment.

I think the ones who are slagging it off took the programme and take themselves a little bit too seriously

Surely it was all just a bit of fun?

We are a bit too quick to knock things in our game – especially if an "outsider" dare do anything different with our sacred sport.

I was in a taxi going to Kempton today – the driver told me that an old bloke in a pub, who likes his racing gave him one horse to follow this season – CHIEF DAN GEORGE!

There you go
