    He can do it when he wants Cyc. Just a pity that only seems to be once or twice per month

    Oddy thats been very generous didnt think he was that consistent, the horse got him up there (which by the way i dont think is a world beater).

    Agree with both points Wayward. I wouldn't be surprised at all if ZUMBI developed in to the better horse

    If Hills hadn't forced the passage, the horse would have been beaten.

    I didn't see it (only have Paddy Power text commentry in the office) so I'll have to check the replay. At least he had the horse in a position to challenge - he usually drops them 15 lengths off the pace and makes ground in the last furlong to finish 8th.

    All about opinions Cyc, at the end of the day they won, i just dont rate him as a jockey whenever i follow his mounts he lets me down he hardly had to do much to get the horse up in an average race, but you can only beat what is put in front of you I agree with RV that Zumbi will be the one for the notebook for me

    Cyc our IT here is steam powered (Windows 2000 with Internet Explorer 6.0) - can't do any streaming vids I'm afraid. We are promised a "whistle and bells" upgrade before year-end. They didn't say which year-end, but we live in hope <ok>

    They are both 'clowns' of jockeys considering the ammunition they get HOWEVER that last ride was very good <ok> that horse will prove to be extremely good indeed as will the 3rd

    Like i said Gary, all about opinions and i dont think the winner was that special at all, what do you reckon he will be aimed for next year 2000 Guineas, if so i think there are quotes of about 30/1 which suggests there not that impressed. Now theres a very very nic ehorse SEA MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
