Jockey Paul O’Neill, who head-butted a horse called City Affair during a meeting at Stratford, has been given a one-day ban by the Horseracing Regulatory Authority. O’Neill lost his cool when City Affair unseated him before a race last month. He got to his feet and grabbed the reins, pulling his horse to him, before nodding the front of his helmet onto the horse’s head.

O’Neill is apparently very sorry and wants to put the whole sh*tty affair behind him after becoming the butt of many jokes. City Affair declined to comment and tried to eat the microphone that was thrust into his face.

Ed Butter, a spokesperson for the International Head-butters Union, said: “After Zinedine Zidane’s moment of madness in the World Cup final, and now this incident, we would like to reiterate that head-butting has no place in the world of modern sports. It should take place on the tarraces at football matches and in Glasgow pubs on a Friday night. Untrained head-butters can injure themselves, although we doubt they’ll suffer brain injuries.”
