Daggers Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 Sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh ... but I have tears rolling down my cheeks at the moments :w00t: Probe into jockey 'butt' on horse Jump jockey Paul O'Neill is being investigated after TV coverage showed him apparently headbutting his mount before a race at Stratford. The Horseracing Regulatory Authority (HRA) will hold an inquiry after examining footage of the incident. A spokesman for the RSPCA said O'Neill's behaviour at Sunday's meeting was "totally stupid and irresponsible." The 26-year-old jockey was wearing his riding helmet when the incident took place before the race at 1510 BST. Full story Video
dandannieldanok Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 I saw this on SSN at lunchtime, very funny but harsh.
nhfox Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 I'm confident video evidence will show that the horse verbally insulted the jockey before the headbutt

Daggers Posted 3 August 2006 Author Posted 3 August 2006 He's going to be banned for one day. There's something reminiscent of the punishments handed down to Italian clubs here, no?
crazy horse Posted 4 August 2006 Posted 4 August 2006 anyone butting a horse, even with a helmet would be risking far more damage to themselves than the horse.........i think the officials realised this and came to a common sense judgement
