Tragically top Australian jockey, set to ride champion racehorse Shoot Out in the upcoming Cox Plate has been found dead at his Brisbane home. The 31 year-old father of one young son was found by his wife. He has had drug problems in the past but was apparently very fit and mentally well of recent times.
On a happier note I see that Lisa Cropp, ace New Zealand jockey who lost her licence due to P use, resumed riding on Saturday. Not in New Zealand however. She rode in Victoria. I wish her well and will be following her career.
Unlike Trevor Mallard who obviously doesn't believe in second chances.

What about radio jockeys?
Think Tony Veitch should be goose-stepped off the airwaves by the third Reitch, or should he be given a chance?
For mine, he should.
I have no problem with Cropp riding again provided she is off P.
I do, however, have major problems with her actions and attitude when she was caught. She rorted the system to the max to her personal benefit and the detriment of other `clean' jockeys.
