After a 2 shocking falls yesterday it was a very depressing day for me to see these accidents and wonder what is going on in a horses mind when they know their end has come also the respective jockeys who with Gods grace did not become just another statistic. Dashrth's fall was disastrous and as most would agree a miracle saved him and as for B Prakash i feel he is going through a real bad patch right now and needs to take a break.
Anyways the most upsetting moments of the day were overshadowed by the ridding of Jockey Ladjadj Stephane on Native Knight, for those who did not pick up the moment please see the race in particular between the last 800 meters and it was clear that all the jockey was interested in was to not let Cabriolet win by boxing him behind Mr Greedy for at least 250 metres he continued this action including elbowing Dashrath singh and such un acceptable acts could have easily seen a disaster I am surprised that the stewards did not pick this incident and have an inquiry in this race and suspend this pricks licence immediately. There is now room for people like him in our country and he can go back the where he came from. N Lagad who is his trainer and for whom I do have a lot of respect should take action of such dangerous intent I am not sure if it will be done but please watch the race closely and voice your opinion on what anyone will call Intentional Dangerous Ridding.

Dear T,
My first reaction while watching the race was that L.Stephane dozed off during the long 2000 metre trip and hence the repeated interference to Cabriolet. After the lucrative treble last week , the instructions from the trainer must have been to take it easy .Both the horses from this owner were given poor rides.
i also recollect the infamous incident last year when the same Jockey on Tequila which disqualified .The reason being he physically handled Neeraj Rawal during the race to keep Takes Two to Tango from drifting onwards to him.
Both accidents could have been fatal , the sight of jockeys falling off was distressing to watch . It looks like they were not focussed on the Job.
BTW Heiress may find the trip short for comfort . also a longish break from the tracks.
good day

Hi shyam,
There was clear intent here and if the officials cant see it then we are really blind.
I dont believe his instructions were to win on Native Knight but they were to make sure Cabroilet did not win and I dont believe they were Lagads instructions as the horse belongs to a sporting owner. This guy has been go to in my opinion and his instructions are definately coming from somewhere else.
if the horse had a inexperienced jockey I am fairly confident a disaster would have taken place just watch the race from the start and see how he positioned his horse on the outside then kept on tapping him in with his left whip and in the final stage inspite of the horse lunging to the right he kept on whipping it with his left side and if authorities cant see this and God help racing in india.
