Jamie Moore can barely suppress his anger after the Brighton teenager's dreams of competing in the greatest race in a jockey's life was snatched away.

Moore can ride at Wincanton or Lingfield on Sunday, but not in tomorrow's Grand National at Aintree.

His description of the Cheltenham stewards who have denied him a second crack at the world's greatest steeplechase is too crude for a family newspaper.

Moore finishes a four-day ban tomorrow, a punishment incurred in controversial circumstances in the final race of the Cheltenham Festival.

"I was riding a horse called Copeland in the County Hurdle," he said.

"I finished third and the stewards thought I used my stick too much. I had missed the first two days of Cheltenham because of another suspension.

"It was so annoying to be penalised for trying too hard. I had a chance of winning the biggest race of my life. What did the stewards want me to do?

"Jockeys would give an arm or leg to ride in the National. It is as frustrating as a footballer missing the World Cup final for two yellow cards, but I am hopefully young enough to have many more National rides."

Moore, 19, was still an amateur when he finished 13th on Royal Predica last year. Moore's trainer, the incomparable Martin Pipe, has seven entries in the big race tomorrow.

"I'll probably have to watch the race, even though I don't really feel like it," Moore said.

"Hopefully, Martin Pipe will have the winner. That will be good for the yard and clinch the trainer's title for him."
