Sir Michael Stoute - Filthy cheating bast'd!
Last time at Windsor Florimund was dropped out and left with a lot to do, not knocked at all about as he closed up, and his effort unsurprisingly caught the eye of the stewards, who fined his trainer Sir Michael Stoute £6,500, banned the jockey for 32 days, and suspended Florimund from running for 40 days.
On appealing against the punishment Stoute's fine was increased to £10,000.
Today with the horse's ban having come to an end, he runs Florimund at Lingfield and the horse absolutely scoots in and wins by half the track. Filthy behaviour for a Knight of the Realm.
