the galah Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) is it just me,or do others think w pinn was trying to deck the horse inside it on purpose,simply because it pushed him a bit wider. and besides,i once heard j mcdonald say,when explaining a turnaround in a horses formthat getting into a bumping duel can take a lot out of your horse and that when you see horses do that,you can excuse them for not performing quite as well as you may expect. if j mcdoanld thinks that,what was w pinn doing. pinn obviously rode ina manner that negatively impacted his own chances as well as it looking dangerous..

Murray Fish Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I happen to watch the race, actually yelled out to Mrs, you will have to watch the reply of this race! Big Argy Bargy!! Having looked at it again, 1st time it looked like they were both fighting for a line/space, 2nd time, I though perhaps #3 had it! and Outside came over the inside horse. It will be interesting to see how the stipes see it! 1 Quote

It will be interesting to see how the stipes see it! after watching it a few times,i guessed maybe pinn has a very short fuse.. i have no idea,he may be a very happy chappy,just it appeared not so in that race. If you owned or trained the horse he rode,would you appreciate it being ridden like a demolition derby car? Edited January 31 by the galah 1 Quote
curious Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Hard to tell without the head on but I think Pinn was just holding his line, and not allowing himself to be poshed out 1 Quote

The last time i commented on a jockey riding in a manner that i thought was dangerous was a couple of minutes after i watched a race at cambridge a couple of years ago which turned out to involve a fatality. .Only difference was today the jockey had more intent to put his rival onto heels whereas the cambridge one was a terrible misjudgment. i thought it just good luck pinns riding didn't cause any injuries to the horse it was knocking around or the others that would have gone over the top had it fallen. Today there was slight outward movement by the horse racing a length in front and just to their inside,but i still can't see why any jockey would have so little regard for a fellow jockeys safety,even if they weren't happy about being pushed out. That horse that pinn knocked around was very lucky not to clip heels and fall. Edited January 31 by the galah 1 Quote
curious Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) J Fawcett (SCOLERA) - Admitted a charge of careless riding in that she permitted her mount to shift outwards when not sufficiently clear of LIECHTENSTEIN which was contacted and forced wider, inconveniencing HIGH EMOTION near the 450 metres. After considering submissions the Adjudicative Committee imposed a suspension of J Fawcett’s licence to ride in races from the conclusion of racing on Sunday 15 February up to and including racing on Friday 27 February, 6 national riding days. W Pinn (LIECHTENSTEIN) - Defended a charge of careless riding in that he directed his mount inwards entering the final straight making contact with SCOLERA on a number of occasions until near the 250 metres. After considering submissions the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proven and imposed a suspension of W Pinn’s licence to ride in races from the conclusion of racing on Saturday 7 February up to and including racing on Friday 20 February, 7 national riding days.

A shocking piece of dangerous 'riding' from Pinn The stipes are as weak as Aussie piss here Should've been charged with FOUL riding after elbowing Fawcett in the chest let alone outside arm I've got very good screenshots of this action but due to the Chief's lack of... ...FREE SPEECH... ...I'm unable to show it after being banned from doing so 1 Quote

billy connolly Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Fawcett should've had the book thrown at her. There's few worse sights in a race than an imbecile like Fawcett exiting a beautiful trailing position behind the leader (who carried on and won the race) well before the turn, carving up anything and everything in the process then not having the horse power to improve the position she exited FFS. This is incompetence personified and Fawcett isn't alone with this disease. Furthermore, it's preposterous Pinn was indicted and found guilty of careless riding whilst endeavouring to halt an errant jockey... on a pilgrimage. Quote

the galah Posted February 3 Author Posted February 3 (edited) perhaps the biggest indicator of mr pinns regard for any of his fellow jockeys safety,was ...when asked if he had any submissions as regards the penalty after being found guilty,he said,he regarded the charge against him was a joke. his actions and his comments afterwards,to me are quite disturbing. those hearing that case should have imposed anger management as well. I say that from the perspective of what would assist mr pinn to race ride in a proper frame of mind. Edited February 3 by the galah Quote
