    A 'useless twat' with a couple of big race wins to his name (yeah yeah, you'll say they were steering jobs). Maybe the horse just wasn't good enough. And if was a bad ride, that doesn't make him rubbish.

    It was a poor ride RV, they were going no pace at all, and he just allowed all the competition a lead on him.*

    Granted the interference wasn't Joey's fault, but he was already out of the race by that stage.*

    Sir Prancealot will piss the coventry next:biggrin:*

    They were going no pace? <laugh>

    The Nile was ridden for his life to get a position early along with 3 or 4 others and the obiren pacemaker went on well past them, it was a solid gallop, thats why Power was so far back because he has no tactical speed. You cant come off the bridle after 50 yards and expect to win a race like this, the horse can only travel at its cruising speed and Power is just not very fast.

    Shergs <ok>. Fair enough but he wouldn't have had any chance anwyays so I am not really fussed. Flat performance.

    BORIS - no more like he was held up like he was in Ireland to come late and win. No tactical speed <laugh> what ****

    Every jockey in the weighing room would have won those races on Camelot. Everytime there's a big field round a bend and jockey tactics come into play he cocks it up :biggrin:

    goodthing

    Sir Prancealot <laugh>

    if you fell for that today you should give up, every bookie in the country bigging it up should have set alarm bells ringing even without analysing its form.

    Every jockey would have won the Guineas on Camelot? Sounds like someone just has a boring grudge.

    They were always going to be the best two horses in the race, that was blatantly obvious before the race.

    Well done Stick. Another really good race.

    Bolger talking him up already. 'As good a two year old as I've had'

    WARNING ALERT

    Bolger may as well have just said - come make a big offer and I will sell. Nobody back him for the guineas GODOLPHIN will ruin him.

    Joseph O'brien is, imho, a capable jockey but he isn't as good as some in the UK and shouldn't be top jock for Coolmore. I could think of 20 jockeys I'd rather have on my horse over him easily (and then some) but to criticize him everytime he loses on the fav is very unfair. Power was desperately unlucky today and probably isn't as good as the winner anyway plus i think the ground was against him.

    hopefully if he does sell, they will let him stay in training with Bolger, like with New Approach :biggrin:

    I am here Wooly. Attempting to be humble.

    The best bit is that I backed him with Ladbrokes at 9~2 and boy do I like taking it off them!
