    Cant believe i just seen that. I understand he's an apprentice but surely that can't be allowed, he's either capable of doing it himself or he shouldn't be riding it.

    Jockeys will do what they're told.

    I actually noticed that myself watching the race. Is there a specific rule that states they're not allowed to remove the hood for a jockey? An interesting one.

    Edit: Obviously it is allowed as Ger Lyons mentioned it in his post race interview. https://www.irishracing.com/news?headline=Sixteen-year-old-Ewing-rides-first-winner&prid=210625
