THERE was an article by Julian Muscat in the Racing Post last week, expressing his annnoyance with winning jockeys celebrating or making gestures to the crowd as they passed the post. It was on the back of James Doyle and Colm O’Donoghue’s gestures as they won at Ascot.

The argument centred on that it took away from the winning horse. That the winning photo was sullied for connections by the image of the jockeys, caught in time.
