Muzi Yeni has finger trouble at Fairview

Jockey Frankie Dettori tells a story of how his legendary rival, Lester Piggott, once grabbed him by the goolies during a race – to take revenge on the younger jockey for teasing him.

This tale came to mind last week when SA jockey Muzi Yeni was fined for making "demeaning and unsportsmanlike" gestures at other jockeys in a race at Fairview.

Yeni rode a good race on Kingdom Of Heaven in race 6 on Friday, coming from well back to win going away and post a third win on the afternoon. As he and horse cruised to the winning post, the pint-sized rider turned in the saddle and appeared to point a finger at a couple of his well-beaten rivals.
