[sea biscuit]

Mickael Barzalona the jockey who won the 10 Million dollar purse World Cup Dubai standing up in his stirrups even before the race was over. Then on his way to the winners circle he falls down from the saddle. Its all caught on video below.

The commentator even mentioned that it is quite silly what he does and one day could end in disaster. He also said that the stewards should fine him heavily.

Take a look at this video

Reminded me of Dave Palone standing on the sulky seat after his 15,000 victory.

That I believe was after the race was over. Just sayin'

[beans and weenies]

What a dumb ass thing to do.  I hope he got fined many many $$$$$$$$ being the second time  days should be numerous also.

[Just Saying]

It certainly was a crowd pleaser. But it'll bite him in the ass someday. He better hope a very good horse doesn't get hurt because of his antics... he doesn't want to be on the list of jocks not to use.

ps Must've been "Ugly Nurse Day" at the track. Did you see the mugs on all those gals dressed in white, wearing scarves? An electrolosist could make a fortune working on them.

His "trademark salute"  I guess this jock has done this a few times before.

  I would rather see him Wave bye-bye ala Ron Pierce.....

Wow! A lot of those guys looked like Jesus in that video. Was this "Dress Like Jesus Night"? Bet  the water/wine was flowing freely after winning that race!

I don't know who the owner was.  they all looked alike to me.    and I couldn't understand a word they said either but I think it was kinda like English.

Gary: The thing I liked about those 'dressed like Jesus' Sheikhs is they are all loaded and they love racin' t-bred horses.

Only wished they were into the harness side as well.

I was in Lexington last fall and saw several Saudi 747 jets lined up at the airport. They were reportedly private planes owned by the sheiks that were there to fly the yearling purchases home to Saudi Arabia.

Now I used to work for Ridgewood Horse Transportation. I cannot even imagine how much it would cost to ship a horse today from Lexington, Kentucky to Columbus, Ohio, let alone via a 747 to Saudi Arabia.

One thing for sure is going to happen with this in years to come.

The American's will not be going anymore now that it is Tapeta.

There is what 1 maybe 2 tracks in the U.S that has it and they are small tracks.

Yeah the money is insane, but now they don't tell you who is the best horse in the world. 4 years ago, Curlin would not of gone.

This is going to just become a european event, cause yeah the money is great, but no trainer in their right mind is going to basically have to shut his horse down for 3 months after going there and then try to get ready for the Breeders Cup.

[Just Saying]

I have to plead ignorance here, Pezzy. What's Tapeta, and why the 3 month shutdown? I don't follow the flats, so I'm not up on the lingo.
