William Haggas criticises Oisin Murphy for ‘professional foul’ riding tactics

William Haggas, a prominent horse trainer in Britain, has publicly criticized champion jockey Oisin Murphy for what he describes as 'professional foul' riding tactics. Haggas argues that Murphy has been allowed to get away with these tactics for too long, particularly referencing a race at Sandown in August where he believes the interference was significant. This controversy highlights ongoing concerns about the integrity of racing and the effectiveness of local stewards in enforcing fair play, which could impact the sport's reputation and the trust of its fans.
