Jockey banned for horse head-butt

TV replays showed the horse, City Affair, being unruly in the parade ring, ultimately throwing O'Neill. The 26-year-old Irish jockey got to his feet and grabbed the reins, before lowering the butt of his helmet into the horse's nose.
British newspapers likened the incident to Zinedine Zidane's head-butt of Marco Materazzi in the World Cup final, with many headlines reading, "Jockey does a 'Zidane' to his horse."
It's kind of screwed up to headbutt a horse...so I guess it's bad that picturing the incident makes me laugh. Ah well.
