How can the jockey get only a one day ban, for headbutting a horse , whilst wearing a helmet, whereas other jockeys can be given 11 day bans for improper use of the whip, and keiran fallon banned completely in the uk, when in my opinion he is still innocent until proven guilty!

No, I don't think that was fair. There is no excuse for his behaviour. If he has no respect for the animal and intent to hurt it, then he should not be allowed to continue being a jockey.
Personally, I think he should be banned completely.

From what I saw he WAS given a ban for excessive use of the whip on the same horse. It was a poor judgement on his part. Big difference in what he did and what the others were accused of - not saying it's right but it didn't affect the outcome of the race.

i just think the kiren fallon's case is more unfair, i saw the american racing are more dramatic, leading 25 length 1.5 forlong to go, still losed by short head, it was not suspected of defraud, it is just affect the betfair's profit, that is why fallon got sued? paul oneil's case is too common in racing, the well famed jocky would get more days ban. paul is not as famous as the others. so, it is real.

Nope, thats messed up! He was abusing his horse, and only got a one day ban. Paul o 'Neill should be suspended or expelled from even touching a horse for the next year.

i think of the Media & the typical public has accomplished adequate to him already. I observed this on the 6:00am information & from what i might desire to make certain, he did not do something incorrect. He had a element to make with the horse & from what I observed it looked like he made his element. you're able to desire to do unusual issues to get your element in the time of to maximum thorobreds & a rider that is going to the "extreme" is often regarded down upon in the event that they circulate to "extreme" interior the typical public eye. What he did is an hourly occurence on the backside of a racetrack & no person ever says something approximately it. A horse weighs 800-1200 lbs in comparison to a one hundred twenty lb human. in the event that they large the Jockey, it quite is going to be for exposure, extremely than a act of cruelty, yet with the rule of thumb of reciprocity. something is achieveable! This guy quite pis*ed off the incorrect guy or woman on the backside & i can allow you comprehend from own adventure that his existence is going to get greater complicated as daily passes by using & his mounts are maximum in all probability going to be from decrease class barns. I want him success, because of the fact he will desire it. he's formally on the properly suited of the blacklist & it will take him 3-5 years to recoup his losses & instruct himself adequate to come back into the huge-unfold daily circle of the vicious cycle of the backside!

I also think that anyone using unnecessary force should be banned completely from the sport
