Ok, " was not the fault of any one rider", but why were ALL riders advised " to exercise care in similar circumstances"? Why was Kaimu's jockey, BMelham, whom I have rated in the top 7% of jockeys, included in those advised? What should he do in future - sit 4 wide all the way to avoid horses bumping into his ride's rear or ducking in on its front?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>LBL<span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
