To assume that this would be the first time it’s been done would be incredibly naive, until punishments become harsh enough across all forms of cheating in racing, these things will continue to be attempted at will.
Imagine if it was under instruction, the pure and flagrant disrespect for the integrity of racing, and then trusting that with a 3kg claimer.

He was at long odds, he is at the back end of his career you would think go out and make every post a would think would be the go.
So my thought is the connections were basically of the opinion that they couldn’t win the race, they have told the young fella be kind to the horse here as it is just a run to bring him up to the top for races up coming where he can get some weight relief and he has just taken in to the full extent not using his own brain to go Jesus I’m actually going alright here I should have a crack. Very stupid yes, in need of punishment yes but I’m hopeful that is not more sinister so we don’t need to hang him.

A very foolish couple of minutes but don't hang him for it like the 2 yrs and life ppl said wtf!
Don't recall him having any form for actions detrimental to racing so give him benefit of the doubt and a suspension of a couple of months max...with a clear message "don't ever be back here for integrity issues if you want to continue as a jockey or be involved in racing at all".
If he was told to do it, he has two choices- carry it out or actually try. It looks like he chose the only risky option and he will pay the price.
It is a crappy situation to put the kid in by the trainer or owner- get it wrong and this is the end result. On the flipside, if he chooses to try and it runs well, they won't put him on again.
Inside run outside run doesn`t matter.
The horse was just going around for the exercise.
The horse basically pulled its way into the position it finished.
Didn`t this horse win a Melbourne metro race last spring and then run in the "time honoured" group 3 Coongy Hcp ? So obviously has some ability.
