I remember many moons back that a bloke with a struggling hardware store introduced nude "women" workers in his business. Saturday mornings only. He had to black out the windows to keep pervs away, but his did a right old trade. If race clubs ran one race per meeting, say at the end of the day, for nude female jockeys only, would we get crowds back to racing?
Nice bit of placing by Nick Gifford there with Christopher Wren. James Doyle again showcasing his limitations..he really is awful...I'm sure backers of his mount will be livid...The horse got him out of jail by running on for third..he had stopped riding and was looking at a suspension. Rode a treble at Royal Ascot and still dining out on it!
Worse ride Dex was Ryan Moore in my opinion. Matt Chapman called it as soon as they crossed the line and remarked that were it not champion jockey Ryan Moore people would be asking what on earth he was doing getting into a race from the beginning with Australia day. I was thinking the same thing all the way round as neither of them were ever going to be involved with the finish. Moore should know better, especially on a horse that had been backed all day with the money was obviously down on. To defend Doyle a little he may well have won easily if Ryan Moore's mount had not rolled back in to the rail, pushed from his outside and closed the gap. He should however have not relied upon the gap at such a course as Windsor however and with a better ride would have been placed to win, as he should have done.
Perhaps Blue..neither covered themselves in glory. Just spoke to my mate PM,who co owns Robot Boy,and he was less than impressed by the ride Gibbons gave that..they had a few quid on as well. Barron likes him but he has screwed up on their horses so many times..Pearl Ice at Thirsk two years ago was one of the worst rides I've ever seen. Like Moore went much too fast. Really can't see anything that mitigates the Doyle ride tbh.
