Jockeys fight each other after Ostend Race

The police arrived at the scene around 7 p.m. and there was a fight between about twenty people. The cause is probably difficulties between two groups of jockeys, who had come to disagree. This led to a fight in which one person was injured. He had to be transferred to the hospital.

Some of the hotheads were evicted and identified by police. The organization of Ostend Koerse decided to stop the festivities early and also to stop the music. An official report will be drawn up for assault and battery.
