Jason Maguire has been given a 5 day ban for misusing the whip on Saturday.
He's done it before about 6 weeks ago, on Cool Mission. He got a ban then too.
I can't help but feel they should look at taking away his 'win' on the basis of this.
How is it fair when the second place horse could have won had he been hit that little bit harder...not to mention the fact it's tantamount to cheating.
And it clearly won't have any impact at all on how he treats his horses in the future. After all, it's all glossed over because he won the National. 5 day ban? So what.
