Got a couple of bans today...rules him out of the Eclipse.

It really was poor stuff from him on Kayf Aramis. Very much deserves what he gets for that manouvre on the bend.

Does he not miss a few days of Ascot already? Must be feeling the pressure.

Until they start disqualifying the horse as well, we'll still get these ridiculous situations.

Very much so - that was a dirty manouevre and I thought Ermine Sea was coming down at one point. Five days is very lenient - I'd have given him at least seven for that incident alone.

Agreed, five days seems quite soft. I've seen much longer bans for lesser offences dished out.

Whilst I wouldn't want to go the whole hog and have the French approach in disqualifying horses, I do think we need to be a little stricter.
