Rhys "shoe thrower" Palmer kicked out of the Gloucester Park trots for endangering race. Get well soon Rhys.

[HawkerHurricane]

Rhys Palmer is looking at a life time ban from race tracks after throwing his shoes, yes, you read correctly, onto the track Friday night, at the Gloucester Park trots as the field of 3YO Colts & Geldings ran by. He is incredibly lucky it didn't result in bringing down the field...
As if his weekend wasn't bad enough, he is currently in a critical condition after he & his female passenger were knocked off his motorbike by a car the following day.

What started as a fun thread for us to have a bit of a laugh over his brain fart at the trots, has now become of a more serious nature, and I'm sure I speak for everyone in wishing Rhys a speedy recovery.

Surely he must have been born in Corio because only dumb people from there would do such a stupid thing!

Tops off a mediocre career nicely.Carlton should reach out to him.and pick him in the mid season draft , he's probably a better footballer than Liam 'shocker' Stocker will be.

I remember hearing about some bloke who abandoned his car (and girlfriend) on the side of the road and swam across the Swan River to avoid a booze bus...
