Leave the jockeys where they belong!

A story that appeared in the Racing Post on July 24, regarding the televising of stewards’ inquiries, didn’t half catch the attention of this observer.

Apparently, RTÉ are anxious to televise the evidence given by the relevant jockeys when it comes to an inquiry.

But the Irish Jockeys’ Association are refusing to play ball, at least not until the Turf Club agrees to televise how the stewards arrive at a decision. The Turf Club, according to Chief Executive Denis Egan, say that will never happen.
