Respect is earned.
They lost respect this weekend by acting like.....little pukes.
Byk made a good point today - the BS about needing a concussion protocol. The jocks are not united on that one. Mike Smith gets thrown in the third race Saturday, so he has to not ride the rest of the day. He loses the mount on Justify. You think the top riders are going to go for that?
Act like professional adults and stop the grandstanding is all I am saying. I have no problem standing up for them when they do. BUt the door swings both ways - act like pinheads and I will call you pinheads.

They're grown ups. If they received a concussion, it's up to them to decide whether to race or not unless it's determined that having received a concussion could be dangerous for the horse or other riders and their horses.
