Reminds of when Red Pollock started out riding at the bush tracks in the movie Seabiscuit.

Aqueduct had a sick such a race a few years back. This was really entertaining stuff.. The best part is the stewards let Vaz race the rest off the card

I assume he was defending himself from attack on the backstretch?

Crazy stuff. Dangerous, unprofessional stuff. Would have loved to have been in the jock's room afterwards. Tony Black needs to take them behind the woodshed.

I get that you can't stop to idiots from behaving crazy..I don't understand either of those two being allowed to ride again until the matter was dealt with. NOT restricting them (Vaz) from riding is a worse crime IMO
