NovemberLudicrous
Hopefully Racing Victoria follows through on its proposal to talk with Team Williams about the ludicrous situation that arose on Sandown Classic day.
More than ever racing needs to be media-savvy and make info about a horse’s performance available. Banning a jockey from talking is just plain stupid and petty, and the fact that there was a denial of any such ban by said team on Racing Retro next morning was even more embarrassing than the panel’s jocular approach to the matter.
Team Williams now seem to feel as though when they don’t like what is being said they can hold the industry to ridicule by picking and choosing their obligations. The size of your investment (or ego) should not allow any privilege above the rules of racing.
