Belgian Jockey Club to probe controversial ride

    From the RP:
    Belgium: The Belgian Jockey Club's disciplinary committee will on Friday hear what has rapidly become one of the most talked about riding performances in recent years.

    Sacha Stappaerts finished a close third aboard Eastern Warrior, whom she both owns and trains, in a race over a mile at Mons on January 21.

    Stappaerts seemed repeatedly to stand up in her irons and take a pull, despite Eastern Warrior appearing to travel better than his rivals, eventually losing out by a head and a neck.

    After hearing her explanation that she had suffered trouble with her stirrups, stewards suspended both Stappaerts and the seven-year-old from all racing activity pending the hearing.

    It's up on YouTube, must say it's an absolute stinker

    It was put in the off topic thread the other day, how could she think she'd get away with that
