It will be a bit of a fillip for her after recent events.

I didn't see the race but if Estimate drifted across and impeded another horse there might have been grounds for an objection.

I'm neither a royalist or a gambler. Though I do believe horse racing is, or can be fixed.

The jockey has been suspended from racing for 2 days. There was something going on.

[sandyRoe]

I'm sure there was nothing crooked going on. More likely working hard to win and the horse drifted across the course. The jockey gets 10% of the prize money, I think, so he won't be too disappointed at his unexpected holiday.

He was banned for 'accidental drift'............the jockey who finished third has a 3 day ban for 'deliberate illegal move'.
