Did you all see this? https://thewest.com.au/sport/horse-racing/jockey-josh-cartwright-in-hot-water-after-allegedly-ramming-horses-so-girlfriend-can-win-ng-b88356164z
Pretty terrible, considering how dangerous being a jockey is at the best of times. Apparently he once also tried to steal a rival jockey's whip mid race.
What kind of penalty would he get for ramming horses? Life?
Would they declare the rammed horses non runners?
Also it reminded me of a race I watched on a video or somewhere as a wee lass where horse A was going to get passed along the inside by horse B so A's driver cut horse B off, B galloped and horse A won. I don't know what horses or which drivers but Ive always thought about how unfair it was.
