In a statement, RWWA general manager of racing Charlotte Mills said Miller was “declared unable to ride as a result of medical advice”. Mills said there had been no policy changes relating to age limits of jockeys.

Dashing Dan, who was taken off his subsequent two rides at Carnarvon, claimed he was in top fitness and passed recent medical tests.

“They’ve taken my licence off me,” Miller said. “They’ve broken my heart. I’ll never walk on a racecourse again".

Dashing Dan may yet get an appropriate farewell. And perhaps one last ride.

Poor bloke, I really feel for him.
Pat Hyland who is at least 76, still rides his horses in trackwork, he feels he can get a better gauge of where his horses are fitness wise by being hands on rather than putting a trackwork rider on.

Tried to have a $200 bet with a certain bookie @ 5/1 whose name is a colour.
They accepted $10, what a fu**en joke.
How do they keep their licence?
