If Paco was on that
Top Gun Tommy? I can see Irad losing his cool over those antics. I don't condone violence, but I punched a hole in the wall watching the replay.
At least from the section on the video - the 4 had him beat, and the 1 was ridden recklessly to brush the inside rear of the 4, and then the
apparently claimed a ridiculous foul against the
!
WTF?
To make matters a bit worse, the
was probably a better horse, simply proving best, and relatively highly regarded 3yo (Is Known Agenda a horse that beat Greatest Honour??).
that's one piece of one race, and there is the rest of the race + the recent meet/card/races where competition and frustration could have been getting out of control.
I know it's warm in Florida, but there have been some questionable rides of late...
Also, I like athletes and jockeys (like Paco) who put up a fight, and aren't out there to concede a victory or play part in a rival's highlight reel, but are competitive. In this particular instance, from the piece I did see, - looked like Paco got silly and emotional, and Irad was in the right.
