Jockey Gary Hind will learn to keep his mouth shut in future - especially in Dubai. Hind, a regular winter visitor to the United Arab Emirates, was fined £500 for swearing during the New Year's Eve meeting at Nad Al Sheba. Hind was asked by trainer Satish Seemar why he was so far back on the horse he was riding, Susu, who came second to Pearl d'Azur. In reply, Hind used an expletive and the trainer reported him.

"I do not think a swear word should be used in the paddock with owners around," said Seemar.
