Below is the biggest lot of w@nk of all time.
Directed at the Stewards of course.
Riding better than anyone at the moment, and when he knew he was up on a supposed charge early, went for it later knowing a concurrent punishment was in the offing.
Still booted home four winners, took care of the tea money, and looked after the punter.
"I was put on this Earth to kick @ass, not lick @ass": J Cassidy, 1997.


Champion jockey Jim Cassidy claimed he had a "blackout" when racing's grand slam winner earned more stewards' charges than his win tally on a day he booted home four winners at Saturday's Rosehill meeting.

Racing NSW stewards threw the book at Cassidy, charging the rider with breaching whip regulations five times during three of his rides.

''I am at a lost to understand why the most senior rider would show such a blatant disregard for the whip rules,'' Murrihy said. ''It is like you threw them out the window.''

Cassidy escaped with a $200 fine for breaching AR137(A) after stewards established he used his whip on Colorado Claire on three consecutive strides before the 100 metres of the Bacardi Handicap (1400m).

Stewards suspended Cassidy for a fortnight each on two whip breaches in the Jacob's Creek Sparkling Moscato Handicap (1500m).

Stewards charged Cassidy with using his whip on the winner Lightinthenite on seven consecutive strides before the 100 metres and again with striking the John O'Shea-trained galloper 12 times in a forehand manner before the 100 metres, seven more times than allowed.

Chief steward Ray Murrihy ordered Cassidy to serve the pair of two-week penalties concurrently but slapped the jockey with an additional three-week ban for his ride on Zara Dancer in the Flinders Lane Handicap (1900m).

Cassidy pleaded guilty to another breach of the whip rules after stewards alleged he used the whip on Zara Dancer in 11 consecutive strides before the 100 metres as well as another using this whip in a forehand manner 17 times before the 100 metres.

''I'm disappointed in myself, I had a blackout,'' Cassidy said. ''You can see it there, there is no arguing about it.''

Stewards suspended Cassidy for three weeks each on the two charges but ruled the penalties could be served concurrently. However, Murrihy ordered Cassidy must serve the suspensions earned in races seven and eight cumulatively.

Cassidy's ban starts at midnight on Saturday night. He will be eligible to resume riding on December 18.

    Just having a look at the replays:

    Colorado Claire - it was obvious he went for her quite a few times before the 100m mark - couldn't see many slaps on the rear, all on the front.

    Liteinthenite - he got to work heavy around the 150m and won the race because of it.

    Watching Craig Williams - he has such a smooth 'hands and heels' action and he has perfected the whip use with forward and back whip action. Anyone know if or how many times CW has been fined for whip breaches? I'd be surprised if it was many.
  • and Dungy thinks he cant ride, after Perth he is back to Japan for 6 weeks

    Interesting that Lightinthenite is such a short price for the Festival Stakes given that without the heavy use of the stick by Jimmy it probably wouldn't have won last time out. I think he'll probably end up starting double figures.
