I AM not a big supporter of the idea that a jockey should never be required to alter their mount’s course in order to allow a rival some running room. I think that rules should be changed to ensure jockeys give all runners in a race, not just their own mounts, the best chance to win. This would be fair to everyone, in particular punters.
An example of what happens without this rule change was provided in a valuable intermediate chase at Newton Abbot.
