Horse racing was not served well by the B.H.A. and the disciplinary panel. If someone was proved guilty of bullying a colleague they would have been dismissed from his job. Racing allowed a bully keep his job. Also, Frost is, or now that should be was, the best advertisement for the sport we had, while Dunne is and will remain a nobody. Yet kept his usual amount of rides, never rides in the major races, while Frost, a multiple Grade 1 winner and possibly the most popular jockey of the era, was sidelined, her burgeoning career taken from her to the extent she has had to move to France in seek of greater opportunities, albeit now as retained jockey to Simon Munir and Isaac Suade.

it was a disagreement between to adult jockeys, was it not? if they were the same sex would you be discussing it? so no to equality? isn't that what everyone wants? I dont think Dunne is a nice person, but if a female jockey wants to be treated as an equal or does she?

Just read your comment. It makes no difference if the bullied is male or female. It is unacceptable and it takes someone of great courage and moral values to expose their bully.
