A horse rears in the stalls, throwing the jockey off. Self inflicted, materially affecting his chances. Why is this not a non runner, as per the Derby? This is far worse. Where’s the distinction? None of them should be non runners of course, but this is now a farcical situation.
A controversial incident at Yarmouth.
After rearing up at the start, Wrist Art was deemed a runner by the stewards in the 5.03pm contest.
Thankfully, both horse and jockey are all OK.
