Owners' call

Fair dinkum, Mr Horsham (12/10)! Fiorente’s owners pay the bills, so it is their decision if Damien or Nash rides their horse.
Oliver served his time — and, I thought, with great dignity. The statement that he should still be suspended is rubbish.
I wonder how many other jockeys have committed the same sin. Perhaps ask the reverse question — how many haven’t?
Oliver did the crime and he did the time.
He is a great jockey, and a credit to his profession. He made a mistake, but who amongst us hasn’t?
I think Mr Horsham may be penalising himself, as Fiorente looks ideally suited to the Cup. Keep kicking goals, Damien!
