I’m in complete agreement with Ian here.
It is important that LRM should be made aware of (if she didn’t already know) the value that her husband had put on TRF.
Craig may well have left his wife in a safe financial position, that is no business of ours, but it would still be wrong to allow someone to take advantage of the situation.

I’m sorry Shads, all these years I’ve accused you of after-timing and now I realise you just can’t help yourself…….it’s obviously a compulsion!!:biggrin: :cool:

No it’s not you.
It’s the sycophancy of the media and the fear of upsetting someone.
I think we all remember McCoy’s response to criticism by the Lovely Lydia and Dickie Hills "throwing his toys out of the pram" when Mark Winstanley criticised him on the old Racing Channel.

Aidan,
The problem with the rules as they stand at the moment is that there is little , if any, deterrent to stop jockeys doing what Fallon did yesterday. That is to deliberately allow your horse to drift into your challengers with the idea of at least intimidating them. McCoy is another master of this black art.
I should have added that I thought Ad Volerem was the best horse on the day and that there was no real need for Fallon to carry out that manoeuvre.

Fallon is ruthless and a winner.
I feel that the other jocks are intimidated by him.
There could have been very serious consequences to his actions yesterday.
How long a ban would stop him behaving like that in future?
Colin
The whole thing beggars belief!
What motivates a "human being" to carry out an act like this??
Colin
Ian, sorry Diane, would like to express his, sorry her, thanks to those who took the trouble to vote for him, sorry her.
Colin
