Why was French jockey Gerard Mosse axed from Americain? Connections contacted Damien Oliver late last week after getting frustrated that Mosse was always being caught deep on Americain, who ran an eye-catching 4th in the Caulfield Cup. Apparently, Americain's owners are not worrying about the betting case hanging over Ollie's head - unlike Terry Henderson of the OTI Syndicate who didn't think twice about sacking him from My Quest for Peace, pleading potential harm to his 'brand'. More harm done by the sacking, according to many.
