    Of course he doesn't Nass. Absolutely dreadful trainer.

    Taradrewe's out again tomorrow at Fontwell. Time to reinvest the money from last time she dotted up. 7/4 with 365.

    It's a pity I don't get time to watch more racing with Amanda. Some of these jockeys are so bad that one could just put a line through anything they ride. I wonder how trainers could put some of these up on a horse.

    Race riding is very different to anything else Ron. Some slate the likes of R Winstone on the flat but they get the job done. Style isn't everything otherwise Ruby and Spencer would be champion jocks many times over.

    Not wanting to put you off at all but a massive difference from 3m2f to 2m4f Bob. Carries a penalty of course as well, wont be so easy tomorrow. CL has TIDAL WAY in the race and they have got him back down to a mark that he REALLY should be going close off. At 16-1 he is worth a saver!

    Yes Nass, I appreciate that there are many styles, some not as stylish as others, but there are some jockeys out there that just can't ride; they are making it very uncomfortable for the horse, are doing nothing to aid the horse's motion and worse still doing plenty to hinder it. Hopefully there aren't too many of them but there was definitely one this afternoon; didn't think to note who it was though. It's a tough world out there so maybe some youngsters are put in the hot seat on the early side as part of their training and their teaching is stepped up as a result. It's easy for me to criticise, sitting in an armchair (I think I would **** myself if I was going at that speed over jumps) but good balance and soft hands are pretty important, regardless of style.
