Another altercation at Goodwood – this time between two jockeys – has led to a 21-day ban for Raul da Silva and stitches for Jim Crowley
Jim Crowley and Raul da Silva are riding at different tracks today, which is possibly for the best after Da Silva was banned for 21 days from 24 June by the stewards at Goodwood after an “altercation” in the weighing room left Crowley needing a stitch in a cut lip after a blow to the face from his fellow jockey.
Crowley did not comment on the incident on Sunday but Da Silva gave an account to the Racing Post in which he claimed: “Jim came up to me and was aggressive, telling me I was a danger out on the track, and I told him to leave me alone. It carried on and two or three jockeys held me back when I was trying to defend myself.”
