How dumb can you get? Shane Scriven should stop all the 'tears' over his 5 months' ban for that "whip steal" incident at Ipswich a week ago. He deserves every day of the penalty. Shane is 45 and whether he can make a comeback after such a lengthy suspension is anyone's guess. The big question is why he did it - and also why he thought he could get away with it? It was a mad piece of poor judgement. Scriven says he's made three comebacks to race riding but even he is pessimistic he can

How dumb can you get? Shane Scriven should stop all the 'tears' over his 5 months' ban for that "whip steal" incident at Ipswich a week ago. He deserves every day of the penalty. Shane is 45 and whether he can make a comeback after such a lengthy suspension is anyone's guess. The big question is why he did it - and also why he thought he could get away with it? It was a mad piece of poor judgement. Scriven says he's made three comebacks to race riding but even he is pessimistic he can rise from the ashes again. He's lodged an appeal, of course, but he surely won't be confident of winning it!
