The jockey guides the horse...The “interference” was the jockey blocking out a competitor...

Same as a race car driver blocking another trying to pass...

I don’t see the problem...

I am not into horse racing. Does the horse or the jockey have a rear view mirror?

You mean other than the fact that it’s explicitly against the rules with the punishment being disqualification. The problem is that when horses get cutoff they rear and other unpleasant activities that result in dead horses. They’re trying not to kill the horses.

Well, as long as you don't try to get a job in anything having to do with horse racing, you won't have a problem.
