Jockey at centre of void race controversy says he took ‘safest and best’ action

The final race at Huntingdon on Tuesday was voided after jockey Tom Bellamy rode his withdrawn horse the wrong way back to the unsaddling area, causing the race to be stopped mid-race. Bellamy has since defended his actions, stating he took the 'safest and best' course of action in the circumstances. The incident has sparked controversy within the horse racing community.
