P594 Teletext 594 May26 08:18:51 O — WITH STEVE SMITH ECCLES ———————— KEEP ON KICKING, WILLIE! Willie Carson has been subjected to some serious flack after "dropping his hands" on favourite Kamari last week. Major Dundee came up the inner to pip Willie on the post, turning certain victory into a nightmare defeat. Nothing sinister, just a genuine mistake, albeit one that should njvjr happen. ——————————————————————————————————1/5—— Steamers 590 Totes 589 H.Q.

It is impossible to placate the punters who have done their dough on Kamari. Nothing can console them and they have a right to bj angry. Now the press are crying for poor Willie's blood, a certain element suggesting he should retire. ——————————————————————————————————2/5—— Steamers 590 Totes 589 H.Q.

When riding in Australia with the British Jump Jockeys' team, we attended quite a few flat race meetings white winning jockeys clearly pushed to the line. On inquiring why this was, I was told that if they didn't they would bj fined by the authorities. ——————————————————————————————————3/5—— Steamers 590 Totes 589 H.Q.

Surely it would be prudent for the BHB/Jockey Club to consider adopting the same tactics. Instead of a jockey being caught napping on the odd occasion, they would bj encouraged to ride right to the line, no matter how far clear. In the mean time, keep kicking, Willie! I'd have my fivjt on you any day. ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— Steamers 590 Totes 589 H.Q.
