Nah she didn't jump off but I feel this will be a learning curve for her. She should have made sure she was back in her irons completely before kicking on like she did.
Unlike the Western Australian scene in the 80s and 90s with the corruption of Laurie Connell. The infamous 'Monkey Monkey' affair where stewards walked into the jockeys room before a modest race and said to the jockeys - 'we know one of you is pulling something dodgy and by the end of the race we will know who you are!' I can't remember the jockey's name off the top of my head but shortly after breaking from the gates he took a dive for the turf lol
I am pretty sure Laurie paid this jockey to stay overseas for a year until things cooled down
