Trevor Mc Cathy suffers Broken Collar Bone in Aqu Spill
 

7 days...seems insignificant

Sure is. That’ll show these guys.

Best of luck to Trevor who seems to be one of the good guys on the NYRA circuit.

I guess maiming or death of a fellow rider will be 10, maybe 14 whole days.

Unless it's Irad, who won't even get disqualified and instead will get a pat on the back for "superior race riding".

A rider shouldn't be suspended because someone got hurt. They should be being fined/suspended, and severely enough, to attempt to prevent these kinds of incidents. Any reckless riding COULD result in serious injury. Whether or not it happens should not necessarily be relevant.

The problem, of course, is that reckless riding is frequently not punished. There is, sadly, plenty of blame to go around (sometimes) when someone gets hurt.

I agree to a point, but I think considering what happens to the riders and horses should lead to sterner punishment when warranted. We see that in human sports all the time.
